The Way She Loved Me
Some wounds are invisible. Growing up, the author often felt like an outsider in their own family-watching siblings experience a closeness with their mother that always seemed just beyond reach. While their family met their physical needs, the deeper longing for emotional connection remained unfulfilled. The Way She Love Me is a powerful memoir that delves into the complexities of growing up in a family striving to balance love, survival, and emotional healing. At its heart is my relationship with my mother-a strong African American woman who, against all odds, raised seven children, often on her own. In a world that demanded more than it ever gave, she carried a quiet strength shaped by sacrifice, resilience, and unspoken pain. This memoir illuminates a shared yet often hidden experience within the Black community, where systemic challenges, personal struggles, and the instinct to protect loved ones can give rise to silence. Beneath deep loyalty and love often lie unresolved wounds-pain left unspoken that quietly shapes generations. The Way She Love Me explores these generational patterns and the cost of emotional suppression, revealing how silence can perpetuate cycles of hardship. By telling my story, I seek to encourage honest conversations, challenge inherited patterns, and inspire the courage required to heal. More than a reflection of my journey, this book is an invitation-for readers to confront their truths, to stop hiding their pain, and to imagine families rooted in openness, support, and love. It is a call to break the chains of silence.Complete

Truly Alive
In agony I deliver the children of faceless, infertile clients. To them I am nothing more than a vessel, bearing the fruit they so wish to carry within themselves. They love me for my ability, and they hate me for it. This is why I am hidden away here in the Factory where they cannot see my rounded stomach, swollen with their life. When the life inside me is gone, birthed into their eagerly-waiting arms, I will be left with nothing. I will be impregnated again, and again, until my body is ruined and I am sent away. I should question this system, this ritualistic rending of my heart, but I do not-in fact, I volunteered for this job. And now, six babies later, I am afraid to leave. It is better to carry life, even temporarily, than to have never carried it at all.Complete
