Welcome to Litsy!

Pagonis shares how they came to discover during college that they were intersex and reflects on the difficulties growing up, knowing they were different but not understanding why. They also recount their move into activism and advocacy work, eventually helping to stop unnecessary surgeries on intersex children at the very hospital where multiple procedures were performed on them throughout childhood. Very eye opening.

Gotta love a fall book haul 😍

A very hard-hitting and honest memoir, about the author's struggles with addiction and sexual abuse. Her resilience, leading to her recovery and ability to share her stories through her writing, is truly admirable.

Already in love with the writing.

I read this book in 2 days. It was captivating and incredibly moving. The human spirit is so strong and even under conditions that are impossible to imagine, the mind can find peace. Amanda and Nigel went through a horrific kidnapping and this story describes Amanda‘s experiences which brought me to tears on several occasions. The forgiveness and compassion she showed was truly inspiring and I will reflect back on this story in my day to day life.

Remembering Patrick Swayze who passed away from pancreatic cancer 16 years ago today. I have such a soft spot for him. Lost him the same way I lost my uncle. He‘ll always be missed. 💜

after all these years,
we‘re still crazy for Swayze, our
dirty dancing ghost. 💜
