Today I Left the House

Today mothers at church
smile at me in the hallway;
they can see I'm a coresident
in the land of sacrifice and wonder.
Stepping into motherhood can feel like entering an entirely new world without ever leaving home. In Today I Left the House, Sarah White shares a beautifully real journey through pregnancy, childbirth, and the early days of life with a newborn. With the elegance of poetry and the openness of memoir, White's writing draws readers into the inner scenery of a new mother as she navigates the space between who she was and who she's becoming.
White's reflections--raw, tender, and full of truth--offer glimpses into the small victories, uncertainties, and deep feelings that come with bringing new life into the world. With each page, she reminds readers that these experiences, while deeply personal, are shared by many.
For anyone standing on the doorstep of motherhood, Today I Left the House is a gentle companion, encouraging them to trust their instincts and embrace the unknowns on the other side of the door. This book is an invitation to step inside--to walk through.
