Stories About Songs About Women: A Listening Companion

By Luke MacPherson

A Collection of Transformative Journeys: Good Medicine Girl, Empty Coffin, and Queequeg's Sister In this collection of stories, Luke MacPherson invites readers on a journey through personal reinvention, self-discovery, and the quiet moments of transformation that shape us. Each tale explores the messiness of life, the beauty of change, and the constant pull between who we were, who we are, and who we're becoming. Good Medicine Girl tells the story of Nicole, a successful cardiac surgeon and single mother, who finds herself at a crossroads in her life. Faced with the sudden loss of her brother, she must confront the painful truths of her past while learning to embrace the uncertain but necessary steps toward a new future. In Empty Coffin , Sophia's midlife crisis becomes a transformative experience, as she sheds the roles she's been forced to play and embraces the full, authentic person she's always been. This delayed coming-of-age story serves as a chrysalis for Sophia, as she faces her deepest fears and discovers the strength to reinvent herself. Queequeg's Sister (My Baby's an Idolator) is a fresh, charming take on Herman Melville's classic Moby-Dick , offering a playful retelling that reimagines the iconic tale of obsession, self-discovery, and the pursuit of the unknowable. Through this witty and heartfelt narrative, MacPherson breathes new life into Melville's characters, turning the story into a journey of love, freedom, and cosmic connection. Each story in this collection is paired with a song written and published by Iron Reverb, deepening the experience and connecting the written word to the soundscapes of transformation. This collection is an exploration of life's ever-unfolding mysteries and the art of becoming.
