In Where Mothers Do Not Grow, transgender woman Citlali Zelaya shapes an unfulfilled yearning for motherhood into breathtaking works of art-sculptures that capture tender intimacy in maternal love. As her career blossoms, so does her obsession with crafting the perfect piece: a child born from clay and imagination that would fill up the void left by her inability to conceive.
But the weight of her longing pushes her to the breaking point. Citlali locks herself in her studio, armed with the conviction that she can create life through her art, while her body and spirit begin to deteriorate. Her final masterpiece is an achingly realistic sculpture of the child she might have had, and it becomes at once her crowning creation and her undoing.
Told with deep emotional insight, Where Mothers Do Not Grow is a rare creation story of identity and loss of the beautiful born out of despair, the love transcending biology, and the silent battles that many bear far beneath the surface. Unforgettable and heartbreaking, the story of Citlali will stay long after the final word is read.

Zora
Growing up is difficult. The body goes through changes. Hormones mess with you. Everyone gets bullied at one point by someone. For Zora, it was worse. Not only was she bullied at school, she was bullied at home, abused by her father. She was a disgrace in everyone's eyes. Constantly suffering, she needed something that would give her hope and make her feel good about herself. Though it caused her to be bullied even more, she didn't care. She would live her life out and proud as a woman, despite how everyone saw her as a man. Hope meant nothing to her until the day her father died, prompting her to move in with her mother and stepbrother in New York, away from her transphobic community in Georgia. But moving didn't mean everything would suddenly get better. Dealing with transphobic bullies and a stepbrother who doesn't understand who she is, Zora worried she'd always endure constant ridicule. But moving somewhere new could lead to better things, like an accepting mother, friends, and a boy who finds her to be the most beautiful girl alive. Change meant new things were going to come, and if the world wasn't going to change for her, she'd have to change it herself.
