✦ 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 Witchesdocuments 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?
