Abstract
A Cold Humidity by Rebekah Morris is a personal memoir—centered around the stories of women from a rekindling family as they attempt to break free from patterns of insecurity and desperation in the working class Midwest of the 1930s through the present day. Through eight essays the memoir navigates the worlds of three generations (grandmother, mother, and daughter), each learning and refining the ideas of protection passed down from their elders, probing a seemingly large lack of empathy in a detached family.
