Fledging

When Lia lays an egg she doesnt know what to do. At her age, its impossible to escape the baby question, and all her friends seem to be having children. She feels her hearts not in it but all the same, theres the egg, impossible to ignore, lying in a nest of towels in the living room. Her partner on tour on the other side of the world and her mother diagnosed with a terminal illness, Lia finds herself torn, unsure whether shes ready to give up on her songwriting dreams; but time is running out, and she must make one of the biggest decisions of her life. Beautifully written and brilliantly original, Fledging is a riveting tale that asks what it is to lead a meaningful life, and sounds a resounding call for women to make their own choices, whether that means embracing motherhood or living child-free.
