“Marianne Jay Erhardt’s Lucky Bodies turns motherhood inside out, wears its pelt like a shawl, unravels it, buries it in snow, then hangs it on the clothesline in the sunshine. In this gorgeous collection, fairy tale and memory are inseparable at last.”
— Sabrina Orah Mark, author of Happily: A Personal History-with Fairy Tales

“The world, hell, hand basket, I’m there”: I loved the bracing wit and wry wisdom that animates Lucky Bodies, the way that Marianne Erhardt shines her mind’s bright light on motherhood and daughterhood, kinships and performance, stories and myths. An inventively told and beautifully written first book of essays.”
--Belle Boggs, author of The Art of Waiting: On Fertility, Medicine, and Motherhood
“Marianne Jay Erhardt examines our brightly colored world with frankness, generosity, and grace in this collection of essays that is like a fast, fairground ride through American culture, family, love and life. Lucky Bodies is whip smart and, most of all, heartbreakingly real.”
--Jesse Lee Kercheval, author of French Girl
