Synopsis
This inspirational &“magic-infused narrative . . . is a moving account of a young writer and mother striving to claim her own agency and find her voice&” (Publishers Weekly). Buying into the dream that education is the road out of poverty, a teen mom takes a chance on bettering herself and talks her way into college. But once she&’s there, phallocratic narratives permeate every subject. Wryly riffing on feminist literary tropes, We Were Witches documents the survival of a demonized single lesbian mother as she&’s beset by custody disputes, homophobia, and America&’s ever-present obsession with shaming unconventional women into passive citizenship. But even as the narrator struggles to graduate, a question uncomfortably lingers: If you&’re dealing with precarious parenthood, queer identity, and debt, what is the true narrative shape of your experience?
