Our Readers

I have been a reader of The Sun for only a few months. Yours is one of the few email notifications I enjoy seeing in my inbox. Because there are no pop-ups or adverts, I can fall completely under the enchantment of the writing. You have created not just a magazine but a community. Too many other publications present writing that’s not from the heart, but rather designed to fit the fashion of the day. It has been a long while since I recall reading anything that lingered in my mind the way stories from The Sun do. Where other magazines create anxiety and doubt, yours evokes the soul. May this community grow and be everlasting.

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.
