ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Mae Andrews is originally from upstate New York but currently resides in the Mid-Atlantic region. In her first life, she majored in English and minored in Women's and Minorities Studies and is currently transitioning into her third life as an author. She is a single mother to an amazing teenage son.

The majority of life is spent in her current employment and navigating her son's sports games and practices. Her spare time is spent listening to podcasts, watching YouTube, going for walks, making time for the important people in her life, and snuggling with her cat.

A slice-of-life, character‑driven, multi-vignette following six women across years as they navigate family, sex, work, survival, and the long process of rebuilding.

Meet Sylvia, Beth, Amira, Cassandra, Rita, and Annie — women facing messy, real decisions across decades. Their flawed, fierce journeys examine consent, power, and the small acts that remake a life. This is a book that refuses tidy resolutions. It asks: can women learn to choose without apologies? And if the world demands compromise, how do you keep enough of yourself to rebuild?

Follow women who document abuse, open secret bank accounts, and ask for what they want.
