This is a book of doorways: clinic and kitchen, nursery and waiting room, where joy and ache share the same chair.
With quiet reflection and clinical insight, Dr Melody Jackson - breastfeeding medicine doctor and mother - explores breastfeeding and mothering as physiology, as memory, as labour, as an act of resistance and love. Tender Thresholds names both the ache and wonder of being a mother, a doctor, a human. These are reflections to breathe with, a companion for the small hours and the long seasons. It bears witness to mothers in every form - those who are held and those who carry alone, to the ordinary heroism of sleepless nights and the steady work of being believed. At once intimate and political, this book bears witness to the courage inside the most ordinary moments, reminding us that love keeps time for us - and that none of us are alone in this story. Come in; there is room here for your story, too.
