I stopped subscribing to The Sun a couple of years ago when the topics covered in your pages were just too dark for me to handle. Inspired to dive in again this morning, I read Teri Stein’s essay “Penumbra” [October 2024] and was drawn to its truth. The manner in which she weaved together Roe v. Wade, her personal trauma, the shortcomings of our legal system, and ingrained racism was masterful. I’ve shared her essay with others—despite not usually sharing articles that make me sad or angry—because all the women I know should read this.
