First she had wings, then she had a cape.

Monster mom is quiet, uncanny, and shamefully curious. She is the would-be-perfect mother if placed in another circumstance or time. Her imperfections are wild as snarled hair; her perceptions are keen and her face hides nothing.  She writes about the embarrassingly selfish battle of a solo mom artist who lives for love, chooses the best, and dances between having everything and nothing.

But a monster?  A dangerously passionate and daringly dedicated young mother raises three children, from two very different men. Observant of clashes between culture and nature and the psychological, social, and financial impact on her free-spirit, she hazardously navigates her way through a wild parenthood landscape while redefining the successful family.

The myth of mother: The institution of motherhood, by nature, is placed with a responsibility for the entirety of civilization – extending family to include the tribe and then the species. The raw reproductive definition is not cultural or genetic outside of a confused excuse. At first, the guilt was inescapable. Monster Mom toys with that guilt, it’s source, and its dissolution.

This is an experiment about freedom within inescapably chosen confines.

It’s an exploration of an unconventional parent, who tells it in character, from a place where creative liberty reigns queen.
