Desire : A Reckoning is Jessie Cole's deeply personal second memoir.
She examines her own experiences of longing, seeking answers on how and why women desire, and how external forces, and upbringing, affect our personal relationships.
Her previous memoir Staying was about her surviving the suicide of loved ones, and finding a place to heal.
She also writes about how climate change and natural disaster are woven throughout her life.
