  Environmental attorney Jo Turner is building the case of a lifetime, suing World Petrol, one of the country's largest refineries, for toxic emissions linked to rising cancer rates along the Houston Ship Channel.

  But just as the lawsuit gains momentum, Tori is arrested for a shocking, high-profile bank robbery. Jo knows it's a setup. Someone is trying to silence Tori to bury the findings that could bring World Petrol down. 
  As Jo races to prove Tori’s innocence, she uncovers a chilling conspiracy that reaches deeper than she imagined. With Tori's freedom, career, and the lives of an entire community at stake, Jo has a choice: walk away or risk everything.

  Bodies are serious, irreverent, sexy, fragile, strong, political, and inseparable from our experiences and identities as human beings. Pushing the dialogue and confronting monolithic myths, this collection of essays tackles topics like weight, disability, desire, fertility, illness, and the embodied experience of race in deep, challenging ways. 
   
   
    
  Selected from the archives of Catapult magazine, the essays in Body Language affirm and challenge the personal and political conversations around human bodies from the perspectives of thirty writers diverse in race, age, gender, size, sexuality, health, ability, geography, and class—a brilliant group probing and speaking their own truths about their bodies and identities, refusing to submit to others' expectations about how their bodies should look, function, and behave. 
   
   
    
  Covering a wide range of experiences—from art modeling as a Black woman to nostalgia for a brutalizing high school sport, from the frightening upheaval of cancer diagnoses to the small beauties of funeral sex—this collection is intelligent, sensitive, and unflinchingly candid. Through the power of personal narratives, as told by writers at all stages of their careers, Body Language reflects the many ways in which we understand and inhabit our bodies.
