Overview

A searing portrait of a mother’s body—a resurrection and reclamation of pleasure after abuse, a study of intergenerational trauma, and a love letter to the bodies of women: as alive and unbound as the teeming Mississippi wilds that bear witness 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. It was summertime in Mississippi—wild, pulsing with life—when a man coerced her into an abusive relationship that would dominate her life for four years. Told in parallel timelines, Proud Flesh grapples with the legacy of intimate partner violence in motherhood. With luminous prose and breathtaking viscerality, Gray makes legible the ways that abuse can imprint on our body and seethe undetected for years. She lays bare unspoken truths: that violence remaps how we connect with and care for our children. That the pains of our mothers—and our mothers’ mothers—endure, and can prowl the edges of our stories too. That even amid pain, our bodies can teach us new truths about our capacity to heal and experience pleasure. Proud Flesh rewrites the body of the mother beyond the borders—bold, defiant, and heart-stoppingly true, it’s an unputdownable memoir and a force of nature.
