what she holds, following closely behind Phelps' debut book, what holds her (Main Street Rag, 2019), explores the process of a woman-child becoming fully woman, reasoning, remembering, processing the often difficult, sometimes violent, and always complex father-daughter relationship. Any woman who has both loved and hated her father will laugh and cry and, hopefully, heal as she reads this intensely personal poetic memoir, as it calls her to a higher love.
