In a world that has long expected women to follow a single prescribed path, Nicole’s book offers something rare: serious, tender, and unflinching company. Drawing on her own journey and the voices of women she found across the world, she builds a portrait of lives lived outside the maternal script — and in doing so, creates the community she was looking for. This is a book that finds its readers and brings them together.

This evening is a particularly special one for Chapters. Sharmaine edited and published Others Like Me at Dialogue Books, making this a genuine homecoming — the book returning to the hands that first believed in it, in conversation with the author who wrote it. There are not many evenings quite like this one.
