The wildness of the Arkansas Ozarks comes vividly to life in Animal Unfit. Through Megan Nichols’s eyes, motherhood becomes a song tinged with grief. At the same time, a sense of home emerges through kind neighbors, natural landscapes, and the hope that remains hidden in family—even if our loved ones leave us behind.
A beautiful collection about a mother’s tender, all-encompassing love for her child, the vibrant community that surrounds them, and the quilt of guilt, hard work, and beauty imbued into everyday life. Thank you, Megan, for this gift to the world!
