Rachel Alexander is a memoirist whose work is rooted in somatic narrative.

She grew up in New Jersey with her sister, Shayna, raised by her parents, Larry and Edele. Her work is shaped by an early understanding that, for her, survival was not a choice but an identity. She writes about family, power, grief, and the aftermath of moments that refuse false comfort or easy resolution.

Rachel has lived many lives: teacher, lover, vagabond, executive, dominatrix, patient, daughter, volunteer, idiot, and, at times, no one at all. She now lives in a dollhouse with her cat, having built a life of intentional solitude in defiance of all she was told she would be.
