The book is a photo-essay featuring five American-born women who use their authentic voices to tell the story of their lives of sexual exploitation, prostitution, and restored hope. Woven throughout the book are poems written by five young American girls, ages 12-17, who have also survived the brutal and traumatic world of commercial sexual exploitation. They have become a voice for the voiceless of other untold stories, of girls who may not have had the courage and strength to speak their truth.

I used to be weak, I would fall for anything, cry from the most simple cut. You could hurt me with the slightest touch; make me love you by just a look. But breaking me doesnt hurt me anymore. It strengthens me. This mistake only makes me stronger. I am dangerous. Olivia Williams is exactly how she described herself: dangerous. Shes got blue hair, a strange marking and strange abilities. Do you think that will stop her from living her life to the fullest? No. But what else does it bring? A battle, heartbreak and a whole load of excitement.
Now in paperback: A captivating, heralded memoir, "unflinching and full of truth" (Katherine May), of a woman making a home on a small farm while grappling with an unexpected ADHD diagnosis “When you think about ADHD . . . do you picture a woman in the bucolic English countryside, raising her children along with an assortment of animals and vegetables? Why not?”—Salon Moving to a small farm is Rebeca Schiller’s dream come true. But as her young family adjusts to a new life in the countryside, her dream is threatened by something within. I’m aware of everything, all at once, which is too much. As Rebecca’s symptoms mount—frequent falls, rages, and strange lapses in memory—her doctors are baffled and her family unmoored. Finally comes a diagnosis: severe ADHD. For Rebecca, it is the start, not the end, of a quest for understanding. As she scrambles to support both family and farm, her focus spirals: from our current climate crisis to long-extinct lynx in the shadows of ancient oaks and the forgotten women who tended this land before her, their stories hidden just beneath the surface of history. In this luminous, heralded memoir of one woman’s newfound neurodivergence, attention is not deficient—but abundant. Publisher’s Note: A different version of this book has been published under the title Earthed in the United Kingdom.
