collection that takes you on a journey through the experience of raising oneself. Through these pieces, Johnson fearlessly confronts substance abuse, generational traumas, and the reckless disregard for young children. With both honest and gut-wrenching poems, Johnson tells a heartfelt coming-of-age story that drags you behind the closed doors of a suburban utopia, combs through chaotic rebellion, and reflects on what she ultimately learned from it all.
