Poverty was never a lack of love.


Four women, on the record: a nonprofit founder who has spent more than a decade making sure mothers in crisis have someone in their corner, a doula turned app co-founder who nearly lost her life after birth, a therapist healing her own inner child while raising two of her own, and a ghostwriter of New York Times bestsellers finally publishing a story of her own. Plus two essays and a poem.

"Programs can help people survive a crisis, but relationships are often what help people imagine a different future." Charlee Tchividjian, cover feature
