Ihukom os til livet er en Nordisk Råds Litteraturpris-vindende dokumentarroman, skrevet og tegnet af svenske Joanna Rubin Dranger.Dranger undersøger, hvad der skete med de medlemmer af hendes jødiske familie, der "forsvandt" under Anden Verdenskrig. Bogen bringer læseren på tværs af tre kontinenter og gennem tid og rum, og den gennemlyser det traume, det er for en familie at miste og at fortrænge. Ihukom os til livet viser den smerte, det er at blive fremmedgjort og afskåret fra sin egen historie.

”Mange sider i denne her bog skildrer ting, der engang føltes som mine inderste, mørkeste hemmeligheder – indtil jeg bragte dem frem i lyset og indså, at de bare var forskellige aspekter af det at være menneske.” – Maia KobabeMaia Kobabes prisvindende selvbiografi startede som en måde at forklare for sin familie, hvad det betyder at være ikke-binær og aseksuel. Men Gender queer er mere end en personlig fortælling. Det er en nyttig og rørende guide til kønsidentitet: Hvad betyder det overhovedet? Hvordan forstår man de mange forvirrende følelser og oplevelser? Og hvor finder man svarene på de spørgsmål, man ikke tør sige højt?Bogen er aktuel læsning for alle, der ønsker at få en dybere forståelse af køn og identitet. Den er en af de mest bandlyste bøger i USA, hvor den tre år i træk har været øverst på listen over bøger, som flest klager over og anmoder om at få fjernet fra skoler og biblioteker.”Jeg kan forestille mig, hvordan mit niårige jeg ville have siddet og læst hver eneste side og bagefter indset: Jeg er ikke ødelagt. Jeg er ikke forkert. Jeg er ikke alene.” – ND Stevenson i forordet til Gender queerOm Maia KobabeMaia Kobabe kommer fra San Francisco Bay-området og bruger e/em/eir pronominer. Gender queer er Kobabes graphic novel-debut, og den blev udnævnt til en Stonewall Honor Book – den første pris for LGBTQIA+ bøger i USA. Kobabe har derudover fået sine striber udgivet i The New Yorker, The Washington Post og The Nib.

The Lazarus Syndrome is a non-fictional book detailing a little-known medical event that has been happening to people for centuries but did not draw attention until a few years ago. It occurs when a patient is declared dead by a medical professional but revives spontaneously minutes, hours or days later. It is an event that I have experienced but rarely discussed it with anyone except family members and close friends. The difference between my experience and most others is that I have done it on numerous occasions while most others have only done it once or twice. Medical professionals failed to report Lazarus events in fear of malpractice suits and other consequences they did not want to face. It turns out that the event is not quite as unusual as previously believed or admitted to. The book details case histories listing amazing and even "miraculous" resuscitations. The book also includes NDEs - Near Death Experiences and OBEs - Out of body Experiences which are sometimes related to or consequences of one another. In addition, it covers related medical research attempting to improve methods of CPR, resuscitation, and avoiding brain damage. Other related fields discussed include Cryogenics, memory restoration, Artificial Intelligence, neural implants, Gene editing, electronic prosthetics among others. The book also includes a personal memoir including personal Lazarus Syndrome events, experience in Vietnam, Education, and Law Enforcement experience.

A brave and captivating graphic memoir about the power of therapy to heal anxiety and generational traumaWhen Sacha Mardou turned forty-years-old, she was leading a life that looked perfect on the outside: happily married to the love of her life, enjoying motherhood and her six-year-old daughter, and her first book had just been published. But for reasons she couldn’t explain, the anxiety that had always plagued her only seemed to be getting worse and then, without warning, she began breaking out in terrible acne.The product of a stoic, working-class British family, Sacha had a deeply seeded distrust of mental health treatment, but now, living the life she’d built in the US and desperate for relief, she finds herself in a therapist’s office for the first time. There she begins the real work of growing up: learning to understand her family of origin and the childhood trauma she thought she’d left hidden in the past but is still entangled in her present life.Past Tense takes us inside Sacha’s therapy sessions, which over time become life-changing: She begins to come to terms with her turbulent and complicated upbringing, which centered around her now estranged father, who had a violent relationship with her mother and would later go to prison for sexually abusing her stepsister. With her therapist’s guidance, she sees how these wounds and other generational trauma has been passed through her family as far back as her grandmother’s experiences during The Blitz of World War Two. And she discovers modalities that powerfully shape her healing along the way, including the work of Bessel Van der Kolk and Richard Schwartz (Internal Family Systems).As Sacha’s emotional life begins to unfreeze and she lets go of the shame she’s long held, she realizes that the work she’s doing and her love for her family can ripple outward too, changing her relationships now, and creating a new legacy for her daughter.Bravely told, visceral, and profoundly moving, Past Tense is a story about our power to break free of the past--once and for all--and find hope.

This novel, the sequel to 'One Small Word - Surviving childhood abuse', journeys with Frankie as she continues to battle against abuse. It opens when Frankie, now a qualified social worker, hears about her father's death but cannot bring herself to attend the funeral of the man who had abused her until she told him "No" at the age of fourteen. Shortly after his death, Frankie's husband, Alex, has a large stroke. He is the man of her dreams, and confronting the end of the Alex she knew conjures angry memories of her father's betrayal. Frankie finds solace in Gavin, a work colleague, while caring for post-stroke Alex. But life deteriorates further when Frankie and Gavin's manager begins a bullying campaign against them and three other team members. She, Gavin, and their three colleagues support each other as they lodge a formal complaint against their bullying boss. But things get worse, so Frankie finds a new job and flat, which relieves some of her stress. However, the complaint against her former boss, who still harasses her, continues while she is settling into her new job.Shortly after Frankie is elected to the position of Chair of her local parish council, Alex is at the point of death, and the opposition councillors, recognizing Frankie's vulnerability, join in the bullying for political gain. She realizes that without Gavin to support her, life would be intolerable. As a survivor of abuse, Frankie knows she's susceptible to victimhood. With many cliff-hanger chapter endings, the plot sustains suspense about the bullies' next moves and how Frankie defends herself against them. This focus on bullying keeps the writing cantered on feelings and relationships, and the small cast of Frankie, people who bully her, and people who support her efforts against bullies, creates a closed and threatening ambiance. Eventually, Frankie quits paid employment and sets up her own safeguarding consultancy, enjoying her independence and making a real difference to people who, like her, have experienced abuse.The ending of Frankie's story is positive and uplifting. The "No" that determined Frankie's life trajectory turns into a "Yes" to life-affirming practices and people, the most important positive effect being that each negative experience had made her into the strong woman she is today.
