Hey, hi, hello!
My babies have gone through a lot of changes, plus there are some characters that you know so well but haven't seen...There also are a few little hints to the future events.
Alayna [29] had Eli in 2017. She met Imani at a spoken poetry reading in Portland, Oregon. They became really close very quickly and began dating in 2018. When Imani was finished with her doctorate, they moved to Westwood, a small suburban town outside of Imani's home city. Alayna is a freelancer artist and writer and is very flexible. She homeschools Eli, focusing on Montessori techniques (hands on, like gardening).

Shannon Erickson [50] was born in 1973 to a long line of generational trauma and lack of economic wealth. Her father abused her, often tying her to the bed spread eagle and whipping her with a belt until welts formed. She was always a demented little kid, quiet and reserved but full of fury. The more she acted out, the more she got beaten.
Shannon was determined to end her bloodline with her--- but she got pregnant and only found out when she went to get a blood test before her total hysterectomy. When Aria was born, Shannon was 28, partially homeless, and jobless.
She knows she's been awful to her daughter, but she can't fucking stop--
