My Shitty Twenties

Emily Morris’s autobiographical book “My Shitty Twenties” is an open account of her unplanned transition into parenting. At the age of 22, Emily discovers she is expecting a child. Despite feeling completely unmaternal and like an extraterrestrial invasion, she chooses to carry the pregnancy to term. The book, which began as an award-winning blog, is a funny and moving story of her experiences overcoming everyday obstacles, alienation, and loneliness as a single mother.
