The crossroads in their lives are not always the obvious kind--divorce, motherhood, coming of age--but sometimes much more private and dramatic. Kitty discovers that her ex-boyfriend has committed a murder; Renee navigates a friendship with Arla, a Jehovah's Witness; Emi realizes that her boyfriend is fetishizing her mental illness; Petra acts recklessly when faced with a client with a gun; and Rachel must grapple with the reality of raising a daughter in a world that she, herself, is still terrified of. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTempered by its rural and often haunting Vermont setting, this book explores the complexities of gender and power imbalances in a way that transforms normal life into something mysterious, uncharted, and sometimes bewildering. Through this lens, we can see the many subtle, yet staggering injustices endured by the women at the center of these stories, as well as identify what, or who might be responsible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Genevieve Plunkett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646220404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646220403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Catapult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2021 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/13\/2021","brand":"Genevieve Plunkett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049728864511,"sku":"9781646220403","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_40b79ad4-9c74-4304-a347-9cba1db30ce8.jpg?v=1685003143","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prepare-her-genevieve-plunkett-9781646220403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
