Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What traumas do we inherit? And what can we leave behind?When Amelia's daughter is born with a rare congenital condition, motherhood becomes a relentless fight through hospital corridors, impossible decisions and years of reconstructive surgery. Believing that keeping her daughter safe is the greatest expression of love she can offer, she dedicates herself entirely to protecting her children.But survival is only the beginning.As family relationships fracture and old wounds silently repeat themselves across generations, Amelia begins to question not only the people who shaped her life, but also the mother she herself became. She slowly discovers that while parents often remember the sacrifices they made, children remember how those sacrifices felt.Written as the letter she never found the courage to finish, Shards of Gold is a literary memoir about motherhood, memory and the invisible ways love shapes us. It explores how trauma moves through families and how understanding can begin to break its cycle.

At its heart lies one unforgettable question: Can we truly see the people we love-not as we intended to love them, but as they experienced being loved by us?Tender, courageous and ultimately hopeful, Shards of Gold is one family's story-but it belongs to anyone who has ever longed to be seen, understood or forgiven.
