The Weight by Melissa Mendes
Edie grows up in rural America under an abusive, alcoholic father. When she discovers a relative’s Depression-era diary, it prompts her to reckon with family trauma and the pull between childhood freedom and adult responsibility. The story follows her coming-of-age as she navigates small‑town joys, danger, and the question of whether she can break the cycle that shaped her.
