Four months postpartum with her second child, Catherine Simone Gray is back at her doctor’s office, surveying a childbirth wound that refuses to mend. Proud flesh: tissue that overheals to become its own wound. Pregnancy and motherhood had been physically vulnerable for Gray, but this renders her most intimate parts unrecognizable—like her body is no longer her own. Has it ever been her own? As she gets to know her body in its new form, she encounters, too, the girl she’d been at seventeen.

A brave and healing memoir
Revisado: 02-27-25
What an incredible book! Whether or not you have been a victim of sexual violence, you know people who have, even if you are not aware of it. By bringing her experience into the open, Gray creates a space where women can hopefully feel less ashamed and more able to discuss their trauma with somebody safe in a helpful way. Knowing one is not alone is one of the most powerful healing forces.
Gray also paints a unique picture of what a healthy sexual relationship might look like as one is healing and adjusting to bodily changes after childbirth. Her book made me cry, but I felt joyful and hopeful at the end. Such an amazingly brave book. I did not want put it down!
