The Unfurling Frond
A Memoir of Belonging and Becoming
Time and space weave the past and present into the story like an unfurling frond holding layers of memories in a single moment.
Land holds a story: of time, of generations. Rebecca Beardsall’s transnational narrative The Unfurling Frond investigates land and place as physical space, as home, and as moments in time. The collection wrestles with the concept of transformation through time with the added complexity of settler colonization.

writing support + services

Through the alone moments, it helps to know there is a network of people passionate about writing to support you. I am a writer, editor, and coach. I am here to be your cheerleader and your wise friend. Writing may seem like a solo activity, but it is really a collaboration. Let’s work together …
