"After years of curating powerful voices in our magazines and journal, we have built a community that craves deeper, lasting works," said Kirsty Anne Richards, founder and publisher of redrosethorns Ltd. "Expanding into book publishing was the natural step into creating a space for deeper insight into the feminist literature we publish. Rachel's stunning poetry collection was the undeniable choice for our debut, as it embodies the same commitment to examining societal expectations, identity, and mental health. We believe that art and literature hold power in empowering others to build on their self-worth and speak up about issues they face in their day-to-day lives. And we are thrilled to offer this permanent collection to the literary world."

Dr. Rachel Turney, an accomplished author who has been featured in dozens of acclaimed publications, takes a critical eye to the state of womanhood in society. Her perspective is shaped by her time working in higher education, as a global citizen, and as a woman navigating expectations juxtaposed with her reality.
