​Badalamenti tells the story every mother and daughter needs to read.

Unsolicited Press announces the immediate availability of I DON’T BLAME YOU by Frances Badalamenti, a story of losing a mother a mere two months before becoming a mother.  Ana, a mother-to-be, travels between her home in Portland, Oregon and New Jersey, where her mother resides. The narrative tackles everything from her own mother’s upbringing in the Bronx to her parents’ bitter divorce after raising three children and after twenty-five years of marriage. Badalamenti gives readers a brave and vulnerable protagonist who must cope with grief while choosing to deliver her baby at home. What results is a story built by many threads that come together in wildly successful, and often painful, ways.

Frances Badalamenti was raised in Queens, New York and Suburban New Jersey, but she now lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and son.  Her work can be found at Mutha Magazine, Hip Mama, Longreads, Vol.1 Brooklyn and forthcoming in The Believer Magazine.  I Don’t Blame You is her debut novel. She is currently working on another book.
 
Critical Reviews of I DON’T BLAME YOU by Frances Badalamenti
“Frances Badalamenti proves to be a talented and evocative writer. I Don't Blame You is a powerful, heady, debut novel, gorgeously interweaving the story of grief, acceptance, and love. A must read,” said Chloe Caldwell, author of I'll Tell You in Person and Women.
​
Michelle Tea, author of Black Wave, How to Grow Up and Modern Tarot said, “I Don’t Blame You is a raw, irreverent, wrenching exploration of the trauma and joy of being a daughter and a mother.”
 
I DON’T BLAME YOU by Frances Badalamenti is brought to the trade by Ingram and is available wherever books are sold. Print and electronic versions are available.
