Jamison has constant challenges from friends, family, strangers and self-doubt over her decisions. Her decision to become a single mom and leave a challenging but nonviolent relationship. Her decision to continue working. Her decision to jump fully into a risky new relationship and, therefore, her decision to document everything on paper.
Soon after their daughter’s birth, Jamison realized that their marriage was not what she had hoped for. She felt increasingly left out by her husband, who struggled with anger and depression.
In early 2020, Jamison and Bock divorced, after less than three years of marriage. Jamison describes the divorce as a painful and complicated process involving lawyers, mediators and therapists. After splitting from Bock, Jamison found herself sad. She shared her feelings in her memoir and said:
“As if I were shifting back and forth between the spectral bodies of my parents. Most of the time I was my mother, the bedrock of our baby’s life; but two nights a week I was my father, or how I’d come to imagine him, untethered, able to stay out late, or throw myself into work. It felt like cheating. It also felt good. Expansive. Intoxicating. Free.”

Lily is the name of Leslie Jamison’s daughter. She hopes her daughter reads the book one day. Jamison says that now her child is in kindergarten she’s becoming aware that she’s unusual in shunting between households. She said:
“Splinters is a kind of a love letter to her: a version of the first years of her life that holds a tremendous amount of love and beauty rather than a sorrowful origin story. But I doubt that she’ll feel alone with that as she moves through school. More and more kids will experience the same.”
