Overview

Will You Catch Me If I Fall? by Adonica Shaw is a heartfelt and inspiring millennial memoir that explores one woman's journey through life's most difficult trials. In this deeply personal reflection, Adonica confronts the challenges of motherhood, race, spirituality, and complex family dynamics, all while navigating her personal identity after overcoming a difficult pregnancy that forces her to redefine her path in her 30s. This health crisis serves as a turning point, prompting her to step away from the spotlight and embrace new roles as a mother, doula, and midwife. In this period of transformation, she embarks on a profound journey of ""reparenting"" herself, learning how to care for her own emotional and physical needs before she can truly care for others. In this raw and moving memoir, Adonica shares how she transitioned from being highly visible and accessible in the public eye to becoming unseen in the role of a doula and midwife. It is through this inner work-this act of reparenting-that she finds the resilience and wisdom needed to care for herself and, ultimately, for others. Will You Catch Me If I Fall? is a powerful testament to the strength of self-nurturing, personal growth, and the power of education. Adonica's story is one of hope, courage, and empowerment, showing that when life's unpredictability strikes, the greatest strength comes from within. This memoir offers an inspiring message to anyone facing life's trials, encouraging them to find resilience in themselves and rise stronger.
