Nowhere, exactly : on identity and belonging / by Vassanji, M. G.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.From one of Canada's most celebrated writers, two-time Giller Prize winner M.G. Vassanji, comes a thoughtful meditation on what it means to belong in the world. Home is never a single place, entirely and unequivocally. It is contingent. The abstract "nowhere," then, is the true home. M.G. Vassanji has been exploring the immigrant experience for over three decades, drawing deeply on his own transnational upbringing and intimate understanding of the unique challenges and perspectives born from leaving one's home to resettle in a new land. The question of identity, of how to configure and see oneself within this new land, is one such challenge faced. But Vassanji suggests that a more fundamental and slippery endeavour than establishing one's identity is how, if ever, we can establish a sense of belonging. Can we ever truly belong in this new home? Did we ever truly belong in the home we left? Where exactly do we belong? For many, the answer is nowhere exactly. Combining brilliant prose, thoughtful, candid observation, and a lifetime of exploring how we as individuals are shaped by the places and communities in which we live and the history that haunts them, 'Nowhere, Exactly' examines with exquisite sensitivity the space between identity and belonging, the immigrant experience of both loss and gain, and the weight of memory and nostalgia, guilt and hope felt by so many of those who leave their homes in search of new ones.

Life after death : surviving suicide / by Brockman, Richard,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."When Richard Brockman found his mother's body, the simple narrative of his childhood ended. Life After Death tells the story of a boy who died and of a man who survived when the boy and the man are one and the same. It tells a very personal--yet tragically common--story of irredeemable loss. It tells the story of story itself. How story forms. How it grows. How it changes. How it can be broken. And finally, how sometimes it can be repaired. Now an expert in genetics, epigenetics, and the biology of attachment, Brockman chronicles his evolution from a child overwhelmed by trauma to a man who has struggled to reclaim his past. He lays bare the core of one who is both victim and healer. By weaving together childhood despair and clinical knowledge, Brockman shows how the shattered pieces of the self--though never the same and not without scars--can sometimes be put back together again."--

Breathe cry breathe : from sorrow to strength in the aftermath of sudden, tragic loss / by Gourdier, Catherine,author.;
"In the fall of 2010, the entire Gourdier family were happily gathering for a surprise zombie-themed party for their youngest sister Julie's 40th birthday when the unthinkable happened. As Julie and her parents returned from church, they were hit at high speed by a car driven by an 80-year-old woman. While Catherine's father escaped without harm, Julie and her mother were rushed to hospital where they succumbed to their injuries. Still reeling from the sudden loss of Julie and their mother, less than six weeks later, their father died suddenly as well - most likely from a broken heart. Breathe Cry Breathe is the story of Catherine's journey through grief, as she tries to come to terms with the traumatic loss of three close family members so suddenly. In the ensuing weeks, months and years, Catherine realizes that 'grief doesn't vanish so quickly. It packs a suitcase and moves into your heart and head.' Gourdier throws herself into practical pursuits - trying to get a crosswalk installed at the site of the accident, advocating for mandatory testing for senior drivers, holding fundraisers for the Special Olympics in her sister's memory - but after years of struggle it's only time - and a secret meeting with the recipient of her sister's donated lungs - that helps her to finally move beyond her debilitating grief."--
