Grateful to be included in this anthology—I stayed up page turning long after my partner had fallen asleep…each story is unique, yet there’s something unifying in them all, as if by sharing our most intimate stories, we have created our own literary family. Thank you to Chicago Story Press for giving my story a home, and for giving me stories that have reminded me that I’m not alone when I write! Look forward to sharing with more family and friends this holiday season 🙂

This essay bravely examines the toll that societal expectations place on women's bodies in both s*x work and motherhood. Its raw honesty is a testament to the resilience of those navigating these realities.
