Description
Book SynopsisThis inspirational ?magic-infused narrative . . . is a moving account of a young writer and mother striving to claim her own agency and find her voice? (Publishers Weekly).
Buying into the dream that education is the road out of poverty, a teen mom takes a chance on bettering herself and talks her way into college. But once she?s there, phallocratic narratives permeate every subject.
Wryly riffing on feminist literary tropes,We Were Witchesdocuments the survival of a demonized single lesbian mother as she?s beset by custody disputes, homophobia, and America?s ever-present obsession with shaming unconventional women into passive citizenship.
But even as the narrator struggles to graduate, a question uncomfortably lingers: If you?re dealing with precarious parenthood, queer identity, and debt, what is the true narrative shape of your experience?
