These books feel a bit like the moment in the filming of the Herb Ertlinger ad when Moira realizes everything has gone horribly wrong for her to find herself doing a commercial for atrocious fruit wine and, frankly, beefing it. (Exemplary gif in pinned comment)

CW: addiction, postpartum psychosis, intergenerational trauma, colonial violence, drunk driving

Small independent presses rule
