Critics Review
“Selfish is a revelation—a brave reminder that choosing yourself isn’t betrayal, it’s truth-telling. Kerry Docherty writes with clarity and grace about what it means to come home to your own life. A must read.”—Kate Baer, New York Times bestselling author of What Kind of Woman: Poems
“This book is a dangerous invitation as well as a life-affirming hand to hold as you ask: Is there a better way to live? Kerry’s undaunting humanity had me laughing with her, crying with her, and nodding at how hard growing up is for all of us.”—Jedidiah Jenkins, New York Times bestselling author of Like Streams to the Ocean and Mother, Nature
“For any woman who has been called selfish or is scared to be called selfish … this is a must read. Kerry has written a memoir of brutal honesty, and her courage gives the reader permission to make her own voice louder.”—Jennifer Freed, PhD, author of A Map to Your Soul
“In this book, Kerry Docherty articulates a lot of things that very, very few women have the courage to say about motherhood, relationships, and commitment. It’s a book that’s going to set a lot of women free to at last express the things they need for themselves. Selfish is a gift of a book and I salute Kerry Docherty for writing it!”—Laura McKowen, author of Push Off from Here and We Are the Luckiest
