Hello, new followers! You might like my book, ANCESTOR TROUBLE, if you're interested in family history, genealogy, mental health, generational trauma, systemic harms, and spiritual practices around ancestors and our alienation from those practices in Western modernity. maudnewton.com/book/ancesto...

Ancestor Trouble was a book of the year per New Yorker, NPR, Washington Post, and more; a finalist for the John Leonard Prize; a NYT Editors’ Choice selection; and a Roxane Gay Book Club pick.
