Stacey Gross is a single mother to twin daughters, a former reporter and columnist, and a small-scale poultry farmer with a flock of around 30 chickens and ducks (please don’t tell the chickens, but the ducks are her favorites). In the spare time she imagines having (but actually doesn’t, at all), Stacey enjoys horseback riding, humiliating herself in front of both former and potential love interests, and staring into the refrigerator as if it contains an entire separate dimension into which she could slip at will to find respite from her unmanageable life.
