A Counter of Moons, the new book by Iona Winter, has been printed and published with Steele Roberts Aotearoa.

Iona says,

“A Counter of Moons shares my initial grief experiences after Reuben took his life in 2020. Each chapter explores a complex mix of emotions, and reflects upon widespread ideas about how to deal with grief. Ultimately, this is a book about the coexistence of love and pain, when someone beloved takes their life. A Counter of Moons aims to start conversations about suicide bereavement, and to give words to an often wordless experience.”
