A Humble Life
“Each knot in her spine rises with her breath. Her delicate bones are supported, not by her muscles, but by the weight of her determination and her soul, which has carried her weary body far from where it started. ‘Take it easy, breathe... Look, you can start from the beginning if you have to, but I have a right to know what’s going on here. I’m involved now, and even though I don’t like it, we might as well get to the bottom of this.’”
The story of a mother-son duo, Humble and V, each chapter fluctuates between the perspectives of Humble trying to track down his deadbeat father and V escaping from her husband while pregnant. Despite their animosity, Humble and V are able to overcome their dereliction through unflinching support, but reckless impulses threaten to undo their lifelong bond.
