Book Quote by Phoebe Fox

“Sight by Jessie Greengrass was put up on Instagram by an acquaintance, so no one actually recommended it to me personally and yet it had a profound effect on me. The book deals with the conflicting emotions brought to the surface when you are deep in the throes of your 'child-bearing' years.” quote by Phoebe Fox — Download Open image
