Red Riding Hood's Sister is a profound collection of poetry by Sarah Webb, published by Purple Flag Press in 2018. The book offers a series of evocative and introspective poems structured across six distinct parts. Through themes of identity, memory, family dynamics, and personal evolution, Webb navigates the complexities of the human experience, drawing on both whimsical, folkloric imagery and grounded, contemporary realities.

The work balances subtle vulnerability with a strong, authentic voice, capturing moments of profound change and the quiet beauty found within the ordinary flow of existence.
