Praise for Blue:

This is THE BOOK I wish I had found or been gifted when I turned 40, and every
woman SHOULD be gifted as she enters her 40s. Thank you so very much for making me feel as if I didn’t struggle alone.

-A.B.

Blue is a poetic essay that explores the personal experience of depression in mid-life. Smith created a melancholic yet tender essay that explores the complex feelings around aging and the death of her father as a way to help her find “a new place amongst the loss.” These images were also a comfort to me as they so gently embraced the sadness that can arise during the very universal changes that mid-life can bring to us all.

Heather lays herself bare for others who suffer and for people who love those who suffer. What you carry away, however, is not despair but affirmation, empathy, recognition, and yes, BEAUTY. These photographs are stunningly beautiful and bravely original.
