Tania Elfersy and Andrea Katzman – the book’s creators and editors – wrote a portion of the 48 short stories found in Purple Leaves, Red Cherries. The majority of the stories were written by our contributors – moms who work in a variety of fields and moms who are at home with their kids. A few of our contributors are also writers and you can find links to their blogs in the contributor list below.The moms who shared their stories in the book reflect a diversity of identities, backgrounds and attitudes toward motherhood. They hail from three continents and raise their children within a variety of family structures.

 

We are ever grateful to our contributors who found precious time in their busy lives to write their stories – each one in 140 words or less. We thank them for their courage, honesty and willingness to share.
