My new work is steeped in how female heads of households, when supporting each other, can move past survival mode and into a positive mental and financial space not typically reserved for them in American culture. In my story, I am asking what if two women lived together in community with their kids in lieu of relying on magical work promotions or romantic partnering as an exit from poverty. I expect readers/audiences to react with curiosity, as the protagonist and antagonist face amusing conflicts amongst harrowing circumstances that are often, in popular culture, looked upon with disdain, as though people living in hardship can be blamed for a choice they had no say in, for example, men leaving.
