Trish Shallowman just wants her divorce but Curtis, her soon to be ex-husband, has already proven that he's willing to kill to maintain the sanctity of their marriage. Thanks to Curtis's sudden sense of homicidal devotion, Trish's grandfather is dead and Addison is in the hospital having a bullet dug out of his chest. Now David, the only guy Trish really trusts, is dividing his time between trying to keep Trish alive and figuring out what to do with the million dollars in stolen jewelry that Trish's grandfather kept hidden in his house for the last 30 years. Trish is pretty sure someone's body is going to wind up buried in the depths of the swamp before she actually makes it to her final divorce court date. She's just not sure whether the corpse in question will be hers or her ex's.

Sitting Pretty
Author: Rebekah Taussig
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062936816
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
A memoir-in-essays from disability advocate and creator of the Instagram account @sitting_pretty Rebekah Taussig, processing a lifetime of memories to paint a beautiful, nuanced portrait of a body that looks and moves differently than most. Growing up as a paralyzed girl during the 90s and early 2000s, Rebekah Taussig only saw disability depicted as something monstrous (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), inspirational (Helen Keller), or angelic (Forrest Gump). None of this felt right; and as she got older, she longed for more stories that allowed disability to be complex and ordinary, uncomfortable and fine, painful and fulfilling. Writing about the rhythms and textures of what it means to live in a body that doesn’t fit, Rebekah reflects on everything from the complications of kindness and charity, living both independently and dependently, experiencing intimacy, and how the pervasiveness of ableism in our everyday media directly translates to everyday life. Disability affects all of us, directly or indirectly, at one point or another. By exploring this truth in poignant and lyrical essays, Taussig illustrates the need for more stories and more voices to understand the diversity of humanity. Sitting Pretty challenges us as a society to be patient and vigilant, practical and imaginative, kind and relentless, as we set to work to write an entirely different story.
