by Paula J. Yost (Author)
Systems are designed to solve problems. This book examines what happens when they don't.
Tumbleweeds is a clear-eyed, unapologetic examination of what happens when families are expected to navigate broken systems quietly and instead choose to speak up.
Through the births of her three sons and the years that followed, Paula Yost documents her experience navigating pregnancy, healthcare, education, and child welfare systems that routinely dismiss women's voices and penalize necessary advocacy. Medical decisions are second-guessed. Parental expertise is minimized. Speaking up is reframed as being difficult rather than responsible.
Spanning medical gaslighting, high-pressure birth narratives, special education battles, foster care and adoption, and the cultural contradictions imposed on working mothers, Tumbleweeds exposes how institutions protect themselves at the expense of families. Yost writes without apology, documenting what many mothers are expected to endure in silence.
This is not a parenting manual. It is a case study in informed resistance, accountability, and the power of becoming an advocate for your children and for yourself when no one else will.
For readers who have been told to trust systems that break down in real time, Tumbleweeds offers clarity, direction, and hope. It shows how frustration becomes strategy and experience becomes confident, effective advocacy.
