About the Book
It starts as bloating, a hard curvature in my gut that won't go away. I wonder if it's my period, but it isn't the right time. The cramps come slowly at first, like a rising tide, and then grow shorter and sharper, a racing heartbeat.

When Lia lays an egg she doesn't know what to do. At her age, it's impossible to escape the baby question, and all her friends seem to be having children. She feels her heart's not in it - but all the same, there's the egg, impossible to ignore, lying in a nest of towels in the living room. Her partner on tour on the other side of the world and her mother diagnosed with a terminal illness, Lia finds herself torn, unsure whether she's ready to give up on her songwriting dreams; but time is running out, and she must make one of the biggest decisions of her life.

Beautifully written and brilliantly original, Fledging is a riveting tale that asks what it is to lead a meaningful life, and sounds a resounding call for women to make their own choices, whether that means embracing motherhood or living child-free.

Rose Diell writes in her spare time, with the encouragement and support of her writing circle, the Southbank Scribblers. Her debut novel, 'Fledging', was released in the UK & Commonwealth in 2024 and has been endorsed by Ruby Warrington, who coined the terms 'areproductive' and 'motherhood spectrum,' as well as Merle Bombardieri, a renowned 'baby decision' therapist. Rose has been interviewed on numerous platforms, including Other Than Motherhood, Kids or Childfree, Life Without Children and the NoMo Bookclub.

Caitlin Mobley, LCSW is a therapist under a private mental health care practice, as well is a director at a non-profit. She received her Bachelors Degree in English Literature at Georgia College (home of Flannery O’Connor) and her Masters of Social Work at Fordham University. In her spare time she reviews books and book culture on Instagram @booktherapyphilly. Originally from Atlanta, Caitlin now lives with her scruffy rescue pup in Philadelphia.
