Bitch Baby

A sister struggles with guilt as she helps her brother plan to run away with a man he's seeing in secret. When the police pull them over one night, everything changes.
Bitch Baby is a short story from Halle Hill's Good Women, which delves into the lives of twelve Black women across the Appalachian South. Darkly funny and deeply human, Good Women observes how place, blood ties, generational trauma, obsession, and boundaries―or lack thereof―influence how we navigate our small worlds, and how those worlds so often collide in ways we don't expect.
