Ascent of a Woman by Mhairi Blyth is a powerful, compelling heartfelt memoir tackling trauma, resilience and hope that shines a much-needed light on subjects too often left in the shadows – infertility, miscarriage, early menopause, medical negligence, domestic abuse and family trauma.
With honesty and raw emotion, Blyth takes readers on a journey through some of life’s most painful experiences. Her story is one of heartbreak and adversity but also of extraordinary strength and hope. As she navigates multiple miscarriages, endometriosis, infertility struggles, a failed marriage and the long-term care of her father following a life-changing brain haemorrhage, Blyth refuses to shy away from the realities that so many women face but are rarely discussed openly.
