The stories in Listening in the Dark, ranging from lyrical to thought-provoking to laugh-out-loud funny, make a powerful case for trusting your gut. Intuition can save our lives--and even more than that, this brilliant collection argues, it can make our lives rich, fulfilling, and wholly, beautifully our own. -- Claire Comstock-Gay, author of Madame Clairevoyant's Guide to the Stars This gift of a book is for any woman--such as myself--who needs to be reminded why their gut instinct is the most powerful resource they have. -- Michele Filgate, editor of What My Mother and I Don't Talk About This is a luminous collection of compelling and important stories about what it means to trust yourself. In a world that is increasingly dangerous to women and non-binary people, Listening in the Dark is a powerful reminder that sometimes intuition is our only protection. -- Natalka Burian, author of A Woman's Drink and co-founder of The Freya Project We've been told to second-guess ourselves. To doubt what we know in our bodies, our bones. And here comes this book with its chorus of brilliant, badass writers and thinkers saying Enough. There's enough brainpower in these pages to electrify whole cities. The answers are right there, pumping your own perfect heart. -- Megan Stielstra, author of The Wrong Way to Save Your Life What it means to know yourself and listen to yourself feel like lifelong practices, illuminated by this thought-provoking collection. Listening in the Dark creates space for readers to ask and answer their own questions about what it means to trust yourself. -- Rainesford Stauffer, author of An Ordinary Age This anthology isn't just worth reading, it's worth passing down to your own next generation. -- Ashley C. Ford, New York Times bestselling author
