Annie’s childhood by the sea seemed to be an imaginative dream—until she moved away from home at eighteen and her body began to tell a very different story. What followed was a lifelong reclamation of history, identity, and name. Now writing as Josephine A. Lauren (she/they), the author offers a powerful, forty-year retrospective on their journey from a traumatic past to a liberated future. This raw and resilient story uncovers the complex reality of safety and sexuality in society, and especially at home.
