Ember Alexis writes for the people who have survived things they never thought they would, and are still learning how to live afterward. Her work explores grief, anger, identity, healing, motherhood, love, and the strange, messy process of becoming someone you can finally be proud of. She believes there is power in telling the truth, comfort in shared stories, and something sacred about making room for people to rest. Sit by the Fires is her first invitation to do exactly that. There’s room by the fire.
