The widow's guide to dead bastards : a memoir / by Waite, Jessica,author.;
"A widow's life is turned upside when she uncovers the truth about her late husband in this lyrical, witty, and deeply moving memoir of tragedy and betrayal. In the midst of mourning her husband's sudden death, writer Jessica Waite discovered shocking secrets that undermined everything she thought she knew about the man she'd loved and trusted. From uncovered affairs to drug use and a pornography addiction, Waite was overwhelmed reconciling this devastating information with her new reality as a widowed single mom. Then, to further complicate matters, strange, inexplicable coincidences forced her to consider whether her husband was reaching back from beyond the grave. With her signature candor and unflinching honesty, Waite details her tumultuous love story and the pain of adjusting to the new normal she built for herself and her son. A riveting, difficult, and surprisingly beautiful story, The Widow's Guide to Dead Bastards is also a lyrical exploration of grief, mental health, single parenthood, and betrayal that demonstrates that the most moving love stories aren't perfect -- they're flawed and poignantly real"--

Matriarch : a memoir / by Knowles-Lawson, Tina,1954-author.; O'Leary, Kevin Carr,author.;
"Tina Knowles, the mother of iconic singer-songwriters Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Solange Knowles, and bonus daughter Kelly Rowland, is known the world over as a Matriarch with a capital M: a determined, self-possessed, self-aware, and wise woman who raised and inspired some of the great artists of our time. But this story is about so much more than that. Matriarch begins with a precocious, if unruly, little girl growing up in 1950s Galveston, the youngest of seven. She is in love with her world, with extended family on every other porch and the sounds of Motown and the lapping beach always within earshot. But as the realities of race and the limitations of girlhood set in, she begins to dream of the world beyond. Her instincts and impulsive nature drive her far beyond the shores of Texas to discover the life awaiting her on the other side of childhood. That life's journey -- through grief and tragedy, creative and romantic risks and turmoil, the nurturing of superstar offspring and of her own special gifts -- is the remarkable story she shares with readers here. This is a page-turning chronicle of family love and heartbreak, of loss and perseverance, and of the kind of creativity, audacity, and will it takes for a girl from Galveston to change the world. It's one brilliant woman's intimate and revealing story, and a multigenerational family saga that carries within it the story of America -- and the wisdom that women pass on to each other, mothers to daughters, across generations"--

Holding on to normal : how I survived cancer and made it to the other side, happier, healthier and stronger / by Somerville, Alana,author.; Somerville, Alana.Chemosabe.;
"Alana Somerville-a wife, teacher and mother of two small children-was thirty-three years old when she was diagnosed with stage two, triple negative breast cancer. The diagnosis changed her world and the relationships she had with everyone around her. Suddenly she was faced with endless medical appointments, multiple surgeries and procedures, along with chemotherapy, and all the decisions involved. She also had to deal with the trauma of realizing that her support network-sometimes even the closest of friends-didn't have a clue what to do or how to react to her anymore. Throughout the course of her illness, Alana learned to maneuver through the medical system, to advocate for herself, and to build a truly supportive network. She also discovered how to keep her positive spirit intact while undergoing a double mastectomy and ongoing treatment. She is now living cancer-free-a survivor and an advocate. Alana's story is not unique. It's a story that will resonate with anyone who has suffered illness and found themselves navigating a whole new world upon diagnosis. This is an "every-woman's" journey through the experience of cancer, tracing the emotional, physical, and psychological steps that are common to all. In the end, this memoir will offer hope that one can live a healthy, fulfilling, and happy life beyond diagnosis. Holding on to Normal is for anyone who is suffering-or knows someone who is suffering from-a setback in life, and who is looking for inspiration on how to navigate their own journey."--
