Book Review

The book *Proud Flesh* is an exquisite read—raw, honest, and deeply personal. The author takes us on a journey through her experiences with partner violence, as well as her birthing experience and motherhood within a loving relationship. She explores her newfound understanding of pleasure, both explicitly through her vagina and implicitly through the mental, physical, and emotional scars left by a life influenced by her own mothering, fathering, and personal trauma.
