Hi, It's MeHi, It's Me

"Hours after her mother's death, Fawn arrives at the farmhouse to discover that it is her responsibility to sort through her mother's things, then sell or dispose of them. She is meant to stay in her mother's bedroom in a house shared with four other women, who all came together to build a community which excludes and condemns men. Though curious about the women's rigid ideologies and way of life, Fawn struggles to adhere to their ideals. Wrestling with longstanding illness herself, as well as severe self-doubt, Fawn is entirely thrown off course when confronted with the reality of her mother's death. She becomes fixated on collecting, understanding, and archiving her mother's writing and documents, searching through her mother's books to understand more about who her mother was and how she viewed their relationship. Hi, It's Me is a novel unafraid to explore the deepest darkest corners of grief, the physicality and painful embodiment of terminal illness, and the nature of a relationship that continues on after death."--
