Please Love Me

 Set in 1980s Shreveport, Please Love Me follows Peyton Bound, caught between religious certainty, emotional hunger, inherited shame, and the dangerous hope of being seen. When she meets Matt Adler, she believes she has found someone who truly sees her—until their connection reveals how little she knows herself. 

About the Novel

"…if you want to come to terms with the devastating distance between who we think we must be in order to be loved and who we actually are…this book is for you." — Laura Munson, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author and founder of the acclaimed Haven Writing Retreats

A Body of Work

What do we carry, what do we hide, and what does it take to become whole?

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.
