Produktbeschreibung
Thirty-Nine transgressive short stories that are raw, relatable, and fearlessly honest. Welcome to this nostalgic museum of girlhood, where eleven self-loathing and self-destructive girls are on display. Watch as feelings of confusion, rebellion, and a desire to belong turn them into defiant women, unruly mothers, and unsavory wives. Roman leaves prison with a dangerous man; Kia attends a locker room sermon on period sex; Carly escorts her boyfriend's ex to the abortion clinic, and you develop nudes at the local drugstore. Through sharp and visceral prose, Shannon Waite gives life to the women you know, have been, or will be in ways that break you but won't let you look away. Both a prequel and sequel to Waite's interactive novel Raising Women, this expansion pack allows the novel's girls to bravely tell their own gut-wrenching stories in unapologetically bold voices-and though it expands on the novel's characters, this gritty, unsettling, and vulnerable short story collection can be read before, after, or isolated from the novel.
