Author R.A. Bridges, Corrie's Mom
I took seven-and-a-half-years to write my novel, Sons of the Edisto. Like a friendship begun in childhood, I have scribbled different narratives and poems about my journey from journalism into motherhood and teaching. It might sound mundane at first, but ... Some had to do with my relationship with my husband. Some poems were about my… Continue reading What is “Never Saw Jesus in the Mirror”?
Time flies by, as the cliché says, and your child transforms from a toddler to a little boy.

Luckily, those wars end with writing. Not someone getting arrested.
I look forward to a new year. As I told my son, it's a new start in more ways than one. I'm almost finished with graduate school. The end is in sight.

But, it is significant in building up… Continue reading I Might Have Given Up If …

Cold covers your toes, and it spreads weakening the speed of your pace. You reach the end of the sidewalk where it meets a street, and… Continue reading Talks about Breastfeeding: Two Things
The Infection, Part 2 Memoir Shorts When MRSA first streamed through our blood and into our skin in summer 2011, I worked two days a week at a cafe. Fears mounted like a stack of pennies that people save and believed one day will amount to something. One month, Ben's job covered the rent and… Continue reading Ready to Talk: The Infection, Part 2
There is something to a love story. Not the sappy, man with bare chest caries helpless woman with dress draped over her shoulder romance. There are the love stories everyone approves.
