"An astonishing tale, told by a gifted storyteller. Beautifully written, emotionally engaging and unrestrained in its intimacy...as heartbreaking as it is heartfelt."-Jay Rabinowitz, ACE, award-winning motion picture editor of Requiem for a DreamCarlyn Montes De Oca grew up surrounded by secrets. She never knew her dad was a Marine during World War II or that her grandmother hired kidnappers to bring her mother back home after her parents eloped. Her parents took an even bigger secret to their graves... Carlyn's identity.In 2019, at age 57, a consumer DNA test taken for fun revealed that Carlyn's mom and dad, immigrants from Mexico, were not her biological parents. In that instant, Carlyn felt her world shatter. This revelation fueled a year long journey to find the answers to "Who the hell am I and where do I belong?" Junkyard Girl explores the powerful impact of long-held secrets and the complex relationships between immigrant mothers and their native-born daughters. This is a coming-of-age story later in life; a tale about loss and discovery, betrayal and forgiveness, and the true meaning of an American family.

Woman, particularly mothers, are in the greatest battle ever. Your life shifts repeatedly from servant to warrior. I know God has never lost a battle. With Him, you won't either. Mothers can overcome anything that is thrown at them. That's how God set it up from the beginning to the end. Skillet Truth is about sixty years of family dysfunction, a persistent pattern of spousal abuse, fighting a racist system, single motherhood issues, a third marriage attempt, a disabling accident, and Covid-19, just to name a few of my tussles. I know I would not have made it through without God's intervention. I pray these words will be a blessing and help your wounds from the past and present heal as you are struggling through these last dark days. Ruth Etta Coleman MPA MSW BAS

"Hvis det bliver mørkt, svøber jeg mig i et stykke af himlen. Stjernerne kilder som sodavandsprikker over hele kroppen."En pige og en morfar ser på skyer og blomster og fugle. Mormor snakker med fra foderbrættet foran køkkenvinduet eller fra en sky på himlen. Så vinker pigen og morfaren og trutter i deres trompeter, til morfars kinder er ved at eksplodere.Hvis det bliver mørkt er en livspoetisk bog om rødder og vinger, om før og nu, og om barnets blik på at blive gammel og skulle dø. Velegnet til oplæsning og som udgangspunkt for samtaler mellem generationer – om generationer.Bogen er skabt i tæt samarbejde mellem Inge Duelund Nielsen, som – med egne ord – er "lidt gammel", og som har arbejdet med værket gennem en periode, hvor hun mistede sin sidste forælder og selv blev bedstemor; og illustrator Simon Væth, der er ung og nybagt far ... og det er tydeligt i værket, at de begge er optaget af liv og død, fortid og fremtid.

?Social Justice Parenting offers guidance and grace for parents who want to teach their children how to create a fair and inclusive world.??Diane Debrovner, deputy editor of Parents magazine?Replete with excellent examples and advice that can help parents raise children with a healthy self-image and regard for the welfare of others."?Jane E. Brody, New York TimesAn empowering, timely guide to raising anti-racist, compassionate, and socially conscious children, from a diversity and inclusion educator with more than thirty years of experience.As a global pandemic shuttered schools across the country in 2020, parents found themselves thrust into the role of teacher?in more ways than one. Not only did they take on remote school supervision, but after the murder of George Floyd and the ensuing Black Lives Matter protests, many also grappled with the responsibility to teach their kids about social justice?with few resources to guide them.Now, in Social Justice Parenting, Dr. Traci Baxley?a professor of education who has spent 30 years teaching diversity and inclusion?will offer the essential guidance and curriculum parents have been searching for. Dr. Baxley, a mother of five herself, suggests that parenting is a form of activism, and encourages parents to acknowledge their influence in developing compassionate, socially-conscious kids.Importantly, Dr. Baxley also guides parents to do the work of recognizing and reconciling their own biases. So often, she suggests, parents make choices based on what's best for their children, versus what's best for all children in their community. Dr. Baxley helps readers take inventory of their actions and beliefs, develop self-awareness and accountability, and become role models. Poised to become essential reading for all parents committed to social change, Social Justice Parenting will offer parents everywhere the opportunity to nurture a future generation of humane, compassionate individuals.

“Don’t Call Me Home is about madness and love. Alexandra tells the best stories about her extraordinary childhood as she travels the world with her mother Viva.  Wit and wisdom wrapped and bound with love.” --Debbie Harry “Alexandra Auder’s Don’t Call Me Home is thrumming with life, in all its absurdity, vividness, and gunk. I literally laughed and cried, and cheered hard throughout for our intrepid narrator, who has gifted us an incomparable tale.”--Maggie Nelson author of The Argonauts and On FreedomA moving and wickedly funny memoir about one woman’s life as the daughter of a Warhol superstar and the intimate bonds of mother-daughter relationshipsAlexandra Auder’s life began at the Chelsea Hotel—New York City’s infamous bohemian hangout—when her mother, Viva, a longtime resident of the hotel and one of Andy Warhol’s superstars, went into labor in the lobby. These first moments of Alexandra’s life, documented by her filmmaker father, Michel Auder, portended the whirlwind childhood and teen years that she would go on to have.At the center of it all is Viva: a glamorous, larger-than-life woman with mercurial moods, who brings Alexandra with her on the road from gig to gig, splitting time between a home in Connecticut and Alexandra’s father’s loft in 1980s Tribeca, then moving back again to the Chelsea Hotel and spending summers with Viva’s upper-middle-class, conservative, hyperpatriarchal family of origin.In Don’t Call Me Home, Alexandra meditates on the seedy glory of being raised by two counterculture icons, from walking a pet goat around Chelsea and joining the Squat Theatre company to coparenting her younger sister, Gaby, with her mother and partying in East Village nightclubs. Flitting between this world and her present-day life as a yoga instructor, actress, mother, wife, and much-loved Instagram provocateur, Alexandra weaves a stunning, moving, and hilarious portrait of a family and what it means to move away from being your mother’s daughter into being a person of your own.

How does a mother who put her entire identity into her baby the moment she came into the world find herself again when, years later, her grown child cuts all ties? Michelle Rohlf's unwanted estrangement from her daughter Naomi strips her of everything . . . her grandchildren, her peace of mind, and most of all, herself. In spite of her broken heart and broken spirit, she embarks on a three-year journey of healing and forgiveness, discovering the impact her own upbringing had on her attachment to her daughter. But just asMichelle learns that her life isn't over because her daughter walked away, Naomi shows up again, without apology or explanation. Much to Michelle's surprise, this reappearance challenges her own recovery from codependency. She finds herself in a struggle to hold on to the sense of self she fought so hard to gain. This is the story of a woman who had to lose her daughter in order to find the identity she'd never really had. If you are a parent who has become estranged from your child, there is hope. You are not alone in this journey of rejection. The first step toward healing is to work on yourself. Find your own life apart from your child, because you are valuable and the world needs you.
