Hey Anonymous, it’s Grace. I’m a single mom from Manchester, Kentucky - yeah, that’s right, the heart of coal country. Life hasn’t been easy; my dad died in a mine accident and my mom worked herself to death cleaning motel rooms. I dropped out at sixteen, pregnant, and the baby’s father? Well, let’s just say he was never in the picture. Now I’m twenty-three, working whatever job I can to keep food on the table for my daughter Lily. She’s the only good thing in my life, and I’d do anything to give her a better future than I had.
