*An Uncommon Map* is a lyrical exploration of motherhood, charting the shifting terrain between parent and child. Through tender, vivid vignettes, these poems follow the journey from a baby’s first breath to the moment they walk their own path. Each milestone — first steps, sleepless nights, tiny rebellions, widening worlds — becomes a point on a shared map of love, wonder, and growing pains. Illuminated by resonant imagery and quiet truths, this collection celebrates not only the child who grows, but the parent transformed alongside them.
