The definitive edition of Please Love Me

Set in 1980s Shreveport, Please Love Me follows Peyton Bound, a girl caught between religious certainty, emotional hunger, inherited shame, and the dangerous hope of being seen. When she meets Matt Adler, she mistakes recognition for rescue - until love begins to reveal the self she has been taught to hide. 

About the Novel

A Body of Work

 Across Penelope Przekop’s novels, paintings, poems, and essays, a single body of work takes shape: a search for the self beneath inherited stories, family wounds, private longing, faith, grief, art, memory, and survival. The form changes, but the inquiry remains: what do we carry, what do we hide, and what does it take to become whole?
