También son familia : En sus miradas comprendí que otra maternidad es posible

For years, Alba Ciordia believed her story would follow the path it was supposed to. But after losing her mother as a child and experiencing her own miscarriages—a grief that society still struggles to name—she had to ask herself questions no one had prepared her for: What does it mean to be a mother when motherhood doesn't come as expected? What is a family when it doesn't resemble any of the ones you were taught about? They Are Family Too is an intimate book about the love that persists when life takes a different turn. And about a truth Alba learned from Claire and Briana, her dogs: that family isn't always what you plan. Sometimes it's the one that looks you in the eyes every morning, unconditionally and without questions, and reminds you that you're still here. Based on her story and those of many other women, this book gives voice to an experience shared by an entire generation: the difficulty of naming pain, the need for community, and the bond with animals as a source of support and transformation.
