Upgrade to paid to play voiceover

This is the first piece I’m sharing from my book-in-progress. I wrote it for my daughters—but I think I also wrote it for myself, and maybe for anyone who’s ever questioned the life they thought they were supposed to want.

You can read it below, or press play (above) to hear me read it aloud—just my voice, the way I imagine I’ll one day read it to my girls. The audio is about 3.5 minutes long.

Thank you for being here. These pages mean a lot to me, and I’m so grateful to share them with you first.
