The Enchantress Queen and the Ghost Who Made Me - Paperback

by Lori Rottenberg (Author)

Winner, Changing Light Prize. The Enchantress Queen and The Ghost Who Made Me is an all-too-American story of a life created and lived in the changing norms of the late 20^th century. It centers on a girl whose accidental conception irrevocably alters the life trajectories of her teenaged parents and who witnesses her parents' inevitable divorce, her family's subsequent fall into poverty, and her mother's struggle to find a new partner in the disco era and cope with her life trauma and mental health issues. The girl comes of age amid these challenges and ultimately makes peace with the imperfect people who loved her.
