Paula’s book is now available on Amazon.

is AVAILABLE NOW in paperback and on Amazon Kindle! 📚

When pregnancy, healthcare, education, and child welfare systems break down, families are often expected to stay quiet, and women’s voices can go unheard. Tumbleweeds is a clear and boldly unapologetic look at what happens when a mother refuses to back down.

Through real experiences — from medical gaslighting to special education and foster care battles — this book explores how to turn frustration into strategy and experience into confident advocacy. This isn’t a parenting manual. It’s a blueprint for speaking up when no one else will, and the power of becoming an advocate for yourself and your children. 💪
