How do I un-remember this? : unfortunately true stories / by Pellegrino, Danny,author.;
"Growing up in small-town Ohio isn't easy, particularly when you're a closeted gay kid surrounded by ... no one openly gay. Luckily, Danny Pellegrino grew up in the '90s, coming of age when the internet opened up a whole new world for a curious kid itching for life outside of Midwest suburbia. Danny escaped the pains of growing up by submerging himself in a sea of pop culture-bingeing The Nanny until he had the confidence of Fran Fine, belting out Brandy songs until his heartaches were healed, and watching every semi-clothed Ryan Phillippe scene known to man. Now, as a successful podcaster interviewing the same iconic personalities that he idolized as a kid, Danny's life has only become more entertaining and delightfully chaotic. Heartfelt and hilarious, How Do I Un-Remember This? is a collection of real-life stories exploring Danny's journey from feeling like the only gay kid in Ohio to becoming a big-time podcaster in Los Angeles, and all the amusing moments life threw at him in between. With remarkable honesty and his trademark humor, Danny discusses his struggles alongside his love for all things pop culture in a way that is equally emotional and uplifting. And of course, it's all sprinkled with a little '90s nostalgia and a whole lot of comedy"--

Made in China : a memoir of love and labor / by Qu, Anna,author.;
"As a teen, Anna Qu is sent by her mother to work in a garment factory in Queens. At home, she works as a maid and babysitter for her step-siblings, and suffers punishment for doing her homework at night. Her mother wants to teach her a lesson: she is Chinese, not American, and such is their tough path in their new country. But instead of surrendering, Qu alerts the Office of Family and Child Services, an act with consequences for the rest of her life. Nearly 20 years later, estranged from her mother and working at a Manhattan startup, Qu requests her OFCS report. When it arrives, key details are wrong, revealing the indifference of the system. Faced with this false narrative, and on the brink of losing her job as the once-shiny startup collapses, Qu looks once more at her life's truths, from abandonment to an abusive family to seeking dignity and meaning in work. Traveling from Wenzhou to Xi'An to New York, from the cutting table at a sweatshop to a startup's conference room, MADE IN CHINA is a fierce memoir unafraid to ask thorny questions about labor, dysfunctional families, and the costs of immigration"--
