"Abby Kamen is a fresh new voice on a subject that is vital to the thriving of humanity: how to prevent the pain of the past from being repeated in our future. With Generation WE, she offers inspiration and instruction on how we can-and must-each be part of this shift." - Ruby Warrington, author of Sober Curious and Women Without KidsIn a world engulfed by turmoil, where ancient pain echoes in the lives of every individual, GENERATION WE emerges as a beacon of hope, illumination, and empowerment.We are living in an age when our historical patterns and traumas are playing out on the world stage. At no other time in history have we been more aware of the profound need for transformation-on an individual and a collective level. Which means now is the time to embark on a groundbreaking journey of healing and awakening with author Abby Kamen.So much of what we are witnessing has its roots in the unseen webs of our lineages, bound by the unspoken pains of generations past. In her inspiring teaching memoir, Kamen confronts the enduring traumas that have kept humanity in shackles, passing down chains of fear, oppression, and pain from one generation to the next. With candor and wit, Kamen guides readers through the intricate process of healing, offering a compassionate and clear roadmap to disrupting these age-old cycles. In this, she invites all to engage in a revolutionary healing process and ignite change within ourselves and the world.Pointing the finger squarely at white supremacist paintriarchy, Kamen mines her own history-both with her mother and as a mother, and as a Jewish-American woman-to illustrate what is required of us to break free. The result is a teaching memoir that deftly weaves the personal with the metaphysical, offering fresh and sometimes startling insights on the nature of both our healing and our humanity.

What is spirituality for the ones who find God on the dance floor? What does ascension look like when you're the kind of person who knows more about pasta than meditation? And how are you supposed to love yourself, when you can't even figure out who you're supposed to be? In Messy Bitch Magic, we join Ani Ferlise on a quest to find the answers to these questions and more, as she navigates the decade-long dark-night-of-the-soul leading to her Saturn Return. Intimate, candid, and darkly hilarious, we're cringing right along with Ferlise as she turns to modern spirituality in an attempt to quiet the personal demons that have been trailing her since college. There's the weeks-long apprenticeship with a (literal) sadistic witch, where the nights typically end with Ferlise doom-scrolling social media and snot-crying into her blankie. There's her first priestess weekend, where stray pubes and toxic BO threaten to expose her lack of hot Goddess credentials. There's the journey to the fabled Mt. Shasta, where she finally (sort of?) gets to speak to God. And through it all, there's the nasty little voice in her head reminding her what a narcissistic loser she is. Populated with a colorful cast of healers, heretics, hipster witches, and coked-up S.N.A.G.s (Spiritual New Age Guys), Messy Bitch Magic speaks to a generation of seekers for whom modern spirituality is often more self-pleasure rituals and online personality tests. A coming of age and coming out tale, Messy Bitch Magic is for anybody who has looked for enlightenment in all the wrong places, who has surrendered their dignity somewhere along the way, and are still waiting for their chance to just live, laugh, love.
