Desiree shares the deepest and darkest parts of herself in her work in both Under Wraps anthologies. Here she talks about parenthood and mental health and the jarring realisation that becoming a parent does not solve all of our perceived problems.

thank you for your support! 📚♥️

[Keeping it Under Wraps @underwrapsbook]

Deeply painful, we love this bruising essay by @believe_deeply about sex work and just how much a person will tolerate in the name of addiction. It will leave a lasting impression on you. When you're done, read her memoir "We Don't Talk About It. Ever." available on amazon.

there is no one more powerful than a woman who has been broken, and has built herself up again.
