Mother of Stories
In a breathtaking blend of lyrical memoir, photographs, and textual artifacts, Mother of Stories examines the complex legacy of a mother who was a gifted teacher, a passionate reader, and a pathological liar. While Alice Dailey was immersed in an academic study of death in Shakespeare's history plays, her mother died from toxic exposure to mold. Composed in a fugue of grief, Mother of Stories is Dailey's uncompromising account of the months before and after her mother's death. Through varied forms of episodic and visual recreation, Mother of Stories confronts what it means to inherit violent family narratives and, in their wake, to have to reconceive the borders between lived, imaginary, and literary experience. A hybrid, richly imaginative work that synthesizes past and present, counterfeit and real, Mother of Stories oscillates between the inescapable weight of history and the cathartic liberation of art and storytelling. In constructing a poetic assemblage reminiscent at once of medieval miscellanies and contemporary experimental autotheory, Dailey's acts of rehearsing, cutting, and folding history generate forms of radical critique that puncture and reconstitute the limits of literary nonfiction.
Platypus Flats
We don't cry because we are weak! It is our healing power speaking. As a survivor of abuse I carried the burden alone for 60 years. When I did speak out I changed; my world changed. So did my words. The djinn of denial could not be put back in the bottle. Abuse is the iceberg tip of neglect in the sea of institutional oversight. It is just the tip of significant failure of someone to do their duty. They are the true perpetrators. We all have a role to play in creating change if we are not just going to bark up the dark side of history. I don't seek medals for words dipped in gold and blood, nor am I looking for a hill to die on. As a survivor I am, unfortunately, not alone. Yet abuse is invisible to outsiders. We can only reveal it by illustrating the spaces around it. Shame cannot live in the light. We must put a human face to it.This ore took a lifetime to mine. Through blood and dust and swelter I wrought these words, not with my hand but with my heart. N.W.

Always a Sibling
A practical, compassionate guide to sibling loss, with research, stories, and strategies for "forgotten mourners" as they move through the stages of grief towards finding meaning. After her brother was killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan, Annie Sklaver Orenstein was heartbroken and unmoored. Standing in the grief section of her local bookstore, she searched for guides on how to work through her grief as a mourning sibling--and found nothing. More than 4 million American adults each year will lose a sibling, yet there isn't a modern resource guide available that speaks directly to this type of grief that at times can be overshadowed by grieving parents and spouses and made even more difficult by the complexities of sibling dynamics. In AlwaysaSibling, Annie uses her own story and those of others to create the empathic, thoughtful, practical resource that she sought. Divided into three sections: With, Without, and Within, it creates a framework that enables the reader to ground themselves in order to process and validate this often overlooked grief. Annie guides readers to capture the memories and emotions of life with their now deceased sibling, then moves to addressing the grieving process in detail as they navigate life without them. Ultimately, readers will find ways to experience their sibling's presence within themselves and acknowledge their legacy. With practical strategies rooted in proven grief processing techniques, trauma recovery, and psychoanalysis, Always A Sibling truly supports mourners through the unique experience of sibling loss.

The time for peace had finally shown up and with it came joy, but not first without weeping. An unassuming air of dignity found its way into the humble Cross-Creek Community of Sugar Creek. It was the one common nobility the farming society chose to embrace.This is a saga about a young girl from that community, whose faith and courage brought change to its inhabitants much like the way rain brings new life to a dry and dying garden.

All in all, it was their coming-of-age and they sought it with a lot grit and a little Southern Sass.
Dear Andrew
It is not unusual for a father to write to his son. However, these beautifully written letters, spanning over 20 years, are far from usual, as the author began writing them a week after his 8-year-old son's untimely death...Dear Andrew is extremely simple in its focus, and, at the same time, extremely complex in the range of life issues and feelings that it touches upon. While searingly personal in its content, it is, nevertheless, universal in its meanings. Because the letters were written in real time, they open the door to the very essence of grief, indirectly giving the bereaved permission to feel all there is to feel in their loss and to express those feelings openly.Inspiring and profoundly hopeful, Dear Andrew is an eloquent tale of deep feeling, of growth, of a father's unconditional love, and of a journey to peace. So many books are only for those who have "lived it". This book is about healing in its broadest sense.Dear Andrew lights a candle for those who have experienced any kind of loss, and is a moving experience for anyone who reads it.

Wow, God Was There All the Time
Silent secrets & silent suffering separate us from the often nearby solution to our turmoil. God sends us saving grace through His word, people, opportunities, and the instruction of the Holy Spirit. New-found freedom from dysfunctional cycles causes us to ask ourselves, "Why did it take me so long to realize, WOW, GOD WAS THERE ALL THE TIME?" And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled. -Luke 11:14 Cynthia Moses uses her life story to prove, God will never leave us nor forsake us. He remains true to us during our darkest despair & deepest desperation, even when we search for restoration, help, love, and money in all the wrong places.

The Importance of Acknowledging Childhood Trauma in the Clinical Field
There is a distinct lack of discussion pertaining to the lasting damage narcissistic parents inflict on their children, a shortfall so intense that some of the victims themselves don't recognise the harm done to them either, or accept the abuse as being their fault.One of the saddest things is that most children or grown-up survivors never get help or relate their lifelong relationship troubles back to their real origins. They are often categorised by society as having only suffered emotional abuse at best. It is disappointing how lots of professionals and, in particular, physicians and counsellors, minimise the pain those who have lived through lasting emotional trauma are feeling and the impact it has on the patients' physical and psychological well-being. Don't judge and condemn what you don't understand.By taking the reader through my own personal journey dealing with this kind of abuse, I aim to present how detrimental emotional abuse can be and try to bridge that above mentioned gap in general knowledge.

Vows
From the bestselling author of Home Comforts comes the "timely" (The New Yorker), "fascinating, and morally serious," (The Wall Street Journal) story of our wedding vows--what they mean and why they still matter. In the West, marrying is so thoroughly identified with ceremonial promises that "taking vows" is a synonym for getting married. So, it's a surprise to realize that this custom is actually a historical and anthropological oddity. Most of the world, for most of history, married without making promises. And there's a reason for that. Marriage by vow presupposes free choice, and free choice makes a love-match possible. It is a very modern arrangement. Vows is both a moving memoir of two marriages and an "illuminating" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) meditation on marriage itself. Cheryl Mendelson tackles the sociology of commitment through our most traditional promises and shows why they endure. In considering the kind of marriage these vows entail, she helps answer some of life's most urgent and personal questions: Could I, would I, or should I make these promises to someone? Using history and literature, the book describes the parameters of the behavior that traditional vows promise and, in doing so, answers a whole series of other questions: Why did wedding-by-vow arise only in the West? Why are they recited in weddings around the world today? Why have these vows lasted for nearly a thousand years? Why does the kind of marriage promised in the vows survive?
