Byrd Nash asked Byrd Nash:

I'd like to read A Spell of Rowans but when I see the trigger warning, I wonder if it wouldn't be to sad or upsetting for me. Can you tell me more about that?

Byrd Nash I did want to explain more about the trigger warning for A Spell of Rowans for my readers. Overall, the story is focused on telling the dysfunctional relationship between a narcissistic mother, and what she did in the past to her children.

I know from feedback from readers that this book can be very emotional for some, while others wonder why I have a trigger warning at all! So in an excess of caution I decided to put a trigger warning on the book description.

Because Rowans takes readers on an emotional journey, it is easy to become sad or upset with what was done to the characters when they were children. For those who have seen the cruel side of families and mothers, it can evoke a lot of emotions and possibly bring back unpleasant memories.

However, the book is neither gory or graphic. I have seen much worse on television and would rank the story at best a PG14. The trigger warning is there for my sensitive readers who may have their own demons to deal with.
