How do I draw these memories? [graphic novel] / by Joshua, Jonell,author,illustrator.;
"Jonell Joshua spent her childhood shuttling back and forth between Savannah and New Jersey-living in grandparents' homes during the times her mother, struggling with mental illness, could not take care of her and her brothers. Together the family found a way to keep going even in the darkest of times. How Do I Draw These Memories? is a graphic novel memoir about nostalgia, faith, the preciousness of life, and unconditional love. From Jonell's devastatingly brilliant pen as a writer and an artist, it plumbs the depths of what family can be, and how joy and hope can be found in the most ordinary and extraordinary moments"--

Omega farm : a memoir / by McPhee, Martha,author.;
"A long-awaited memoir from an award-winning novelist -- a candid, riveting account of her complicated, bohemian childhood and her return home to care for her ailing mother. In March 2020, Martha McPhee, her husband, and their two almost-grown children set out for her childhood home in New Jersey, where she finds herself grappling simultaneously with a mother slipping into severe dementia and a house that's been neglected of late. As Martha works to manage her mother's care and the sprawling, ramshackle property -- a broken septic system, invasive bamboo, dying ash trees -- she is pulled back into her childhood, almost against her will. Martha grew up at Omega Farm with her four sisters, five stepsiblings, mother, and stepfather, in a house filled with art, people, and the kind of chaos that was sometimes benevolent, sometimes more sinister. Caring for her mother and her children, struggling to mend the forest, the past relentlessly asserts itself -- even as Martha's mother, the person she might share her memories with or even try to hold to account, no longer knows who Martha is. A masterful exploration of a complicated family legacy and a powerful story of environmental and personal repair, Omega Farm is a testament to hope in the face of suffering, and a courageous tale about how returning home can offer a new way to understand the past"--

Trump in exile / by McGraw, Meridith,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."The instantly-infamous Capitol Riot on January 6th, 2021 put a horrific closing note on a presidency that continues to feel like a bad acid trip to millions of Americans. In the aftermath, Donald Trump rode a wave of hostility, denial and resentment out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and crashed back at Mar-A-Lago, seemingly wounded, seemingly done. But he wasn't. And what was he building in there? Meridith McGraw, one of few reporters with access to Trump's inner circle, chronicles this pivotal time of the former president's seclusion in South Florida, resulting in a narrative of lies, conspiracy theories, and the near-total replacement of reality that has characterized the former president's response to his loss. How did we go from watching Trump's political banishment to watching his seemingly effortless domination of the other Republican hopefuls -- Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Nikki Haley? How does he lead all the polls from beneath the heavy shadow of multiple federal indictments? The Mar-a-Lago gap is essential for understanding what Trump and his followers are thinking as they head into the 2024 election"--

Square haunting : five lives in London between the wars / by Wade, Francesca,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In the early twentieth century, Mecklenburgh Square, a hidden architectural gem in the heart of London, was a radical address. On the outskirts of Bloomsbury known for the eponymous group who "lived in squares, painted in circles, and loved in triangles," the square was home to students, struggling artists, and revolutionaries. In the pivotal era between the two world wars, the lives of five remarkable women intertwined at this one address: modernist poet H. D., detective novelist Dorothy L. Sayers, classicist Jane Harrison, economic historian Eileen Power, and author and publisher Virginia Woolf. In an era when women's freedoms were fast expanding, they each sought a space where they could live, love, and above all work independently."--
