Make yourself at home. I'm Lee.





I’m proud to be a wife, a friend, a writer, a sister, an ally, an activist, a subject matter expert and a small business owner.

Here, I extract splinters of labels I laud less. Trauma survivor, homewrecker, birthmother, rape victim, orphan, criminal, agoraphobe, powerhouse, slut.

Some sunk deep from birth into an unwelcoming world, others gathered yielding to dormant impulses stirred thoughtlessly. Some screamed silently at myself in another’s voice.

You will find memoirs, judgmental commentary and conclusions wrought hard from passion, pain and paying attention. Maybe you won’t make the same mistakes. Maybe you already have. I may or may not help, but I promise you will feel less alone.
