ABOUT ME

I am a wild-hearted woman with a large appetite. Deeply curious, easily distracted, quick to the dance floor. Lured by all kinds of gardens and bodies of water.

I have lived many lives, but am stretching out in this current one, as the mom in a family of 5 (and 3 animals).

We live in South Georgia, and I am interested in the complex, often untold history of this place. I am making peace with the cognitive dissonance that comes with living here, with being a mom and a human being.

READ OF THE MONTH

READ

Happily by Sabrina Orah Mark, a memoir in short stories that weaves fairy tales and their meanings into powerful commentary on modern life.

Mark is a sparse, unflinching writer who brilliantly connects fantastical stories and their origins with her own domestic life as a Jew in the South raising two young Black sons.
