The Weight of Gold

Rose's identity has always been defined by what her family and Alabama society has imposed on her. When her sister's death leaves behind two children who need a mother, can Rose forge her own path, or will depression and grief define her forever? Lillian has been running to find something good. She doesn't know there's a name for the pain in her mind and the vices she can't seem to shake. Can she break the cycle and finally find safety for her family? Eleanor is not the same person she was. Unhealed wounds have stolen the joy she'd always expected to feel in motherhood. How can she love when she can't feel anything? These are the untold stories of mothers across generations. In The Weight of Gold, JS Gariety pulls back the curtain on mental health challenges and stigmas that many mothers have faced. Inspired by real stories.
