2021 AML Creative Nonfiction Winner
AML Judge’s Citation:
In Lies of the Magpie, Maleah Day Warner flings the door wide open on her immaculate-on-the-outside life and invites readers to examine all the messes on the inside. The feelings of inadequacy that come from trying to juggle being a spouse, a parent, a church member, and a business owner are what make Warner’s story so relatable. Readers of all ages and genders will identify with Warner. She uses an approachable writing style to shine a light on mental health issues like postpartum depression, inequalities in marriage and parenting, and the pure exhaustion that comes from trying to do it all. She is frank about the conventional and unconventional things she tries along the way as she struggles to align her mind, body, and spirit. Warner’s willingness to put her own life and cognitive distortions under a microscope will help those who are unknowingly struggling with postpartum depression to recognize its symptoms and find their own path to healing.
