A Memoir in Poems
Tamara Hill
A debut poetry collection that offers an intimate exploration of modern womanhood.
As a single mother, successful businesswoman, and global traveler, Tamara Hill doesn’t back down from hardship. In the face of sorrow, she’s become only more resilient and creative. In The Threads of Becoming, Tamara shares her hard-earned life lessons through a poetic lens that reflects on love and loss. “I have carved a life that is wholly mine,” she writes. “I am not waiting for rescue.”
At once triumphant and vulnerable, this memoir in poems describes Tamara’s journey through surviving childhood neglect, becoming a mother, navigating grief, reaching new heights in her career, and ultimately, discovering herself. Lyrical and inspiring, The Threads of Becoming is a beautiful gift book to empower women to embark on their own journeys to become who they are meant to be.
