Daniela has always struggled to make sense of her mother and their complicated relationship. When her mother decides to move to a retirement community, Daniela offers to help declutter her home of twenty-six years, seeing this as an opportunity to revisit the past and gather new clues. What she discovers leads to a surprising shift in her perspective.
Daniela writes narrative poetry and other short pieces about her mother’s progression into dementia. Two of her poems have been published in the Peregrine literary journal.
