The Amazing Disappearing Girl, by Judith Katz (? prose, 1988)
"You're more yourself than usual, Nadine. [...] Sometimes you will wake in a different bed than the one you fell asleep in. Sometimes you will feel like somebody else entirely. But all the time, while you are there, the people you become will always be you."
Blurb: A Jewish lesbian musician flees into the woods... and starts dipping in and out of time and bodies.
Why is it worth your time?: Unusual story of a singular nature, and it's short, free, and online.
Plural Tags: abuse not mentioned, bodyhopping, identityblending, otherworld (the past), children, realitymashing, setting-specific
Content Warnings: pogroms
Access Notes: This story is in an out-of-print small press anthology, Memories and Visions: Women's Fantasy & Science Fiction, edited by Susanna J. Sturgis. Used copies can still be scraped up; it is also available in bootleg screenreadable digital form on archive.org. The whole anthology contains many spirited, many-selved stories and is worth checking out! It's also legitimately available for free online (and screenreadable) in Sinister Wisdom #34!
Misc. Notes: This story was eventually expanded into a complete novel entitled Running Towards a High Thin Sound in 1996.
