She took up the tools of her trade and began a series of interviews with other women, some mothers, some caregivers. As she listened to their experiences of providing care for others, sometimes under extreme circumstances, she began to find a place and a meaning for her own story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFruto\u003c\/em\u003e examines the personal and social contradictions of care. Fourteen voices weave in and around Rea's own, punctuated by diary entries from her first days of motherhood and reflections on her upbringing that are sparked by a lengthy interview with her own mother. Throughout, she engages with an international women's chorus of philosophers and feminists, poets and essayists, and the result is a compelling page turner that chronicles a journey of listening in search for meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaniela Rea\u003c\/strong\u003e (Mexico, 1982) is a journalist, documentary filmmaker, author of three books of narrative non-fiction, and a contributor to various collections of essays. \u003cem\u003eFruto, \u003c\/em\u003epublished to wide acclaim in Mexico in 2023, is her most recent book.
