    About this ebook

    Hell, Bring the Kids Too is an attempt to articulate the joy, anxiety, and purification that is motherhood. It is a snapshot of young motherhood, but it also speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost or unfulfilled, especially in those moments when admitting our lack brings about shame.

    Author

    Megan Paige Ulrich

    Megan Ulrich lives with her husband and two sons in a charming little town in East Tennessee. Megan has been writing poems for over a decade, but has recently found inspiration in the topic of motherhood. She hopes to inspire women to talk vulnerably about motherhood, especially in our shared brokenness. Megan continues to write on a regular basis, but she can usually be found cleaning toddler feces off the floor or trying to convince her husband to donate everything they own.
