I’m glad you’ve joined the Field Guide community.

While you’re here, preorder the book.

A Field Guide to Staying: Fighting for Women’s Rights in Red America is coming from Broadleaf Books in May 2027 and is available for preorder now. Order on Bookshop.org, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Broadleaf Books, or through your local bookstore.

The book traces how, in deep-red America, we’ve transformed abortion stories into a force for connection, resistance, and the reimagining of home ground. It’s about staying as resistance, speaking as rebellion, and building narrative bridges as a practice of home.

I look forward to continuing the conversation with you.
