How does a girl—abandoned by her mother at age two and orphaned at thirteen when her beloved father dies—find her place in the world? This memoir is the story of Nadia creating her own solid ground across countries and continents. I know the struggle of rebuilding your life in an unfamiliar place. While some of you might be familiar with that and some might not, I hope you’ll take as much inspiration and hope from her story as I did.” —MALALA YOUSAFZAI ​ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2021 SELECTED BY VULTURE, TIME, ESQUIRE, NPR, AND VOGUE! Young Nadia Owusu followed her father, a United Nations official, from Europe to Africa and back again. Just as she and her family settled into a new home, her father would tell them it was time to say their goodbyes. The instability wrought by Nadia’s nomadic childhood was deepened by family secrets and fractures, both lived and inherited. Her Armenian American mother, who abandoned Nadia when she was two, would periodically reappear, only to vanish again. Her father, a Ghanaian, the great hero of her life, died when she was thirteen. After his passing, Nadia’s stepmother weighed her down with a revelation that was either a bombshell secret or a lie, rife with shaming innuendo. With these and other ruptures, Nadia arrived in New York as a young woman feeling stateless, motherless, and uncertain about her future, yet eager to find her own identity. What followed, however, were periods of depression in which she struggled to hold herself and her siblings together. “A magnificent, complex assessment of selfhood and why it matters” (Elle), Aftershocks depicts the way she hauled herself from the wreckage of her life’s perpetual quaking, the means by which she has finally come to understand that the only ground firm enough to count on is the one written into existence by her own hand. “Full of narrative risk and untrammeled lyricism” (The Washington Post), Aftershocks joins the likes of Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight and William Styron’s Darkness Visible, and does for race identity what Maggie Nelson does for gender identity in The Argonauts.",2021,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2ezfaspm4khb55e9hdag3g.jpg?v=abd45b6424","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kx2ezfad0feqns54rgfbq9m2.png?v=1b2a1a532c","LZM3Tb=Y}qW,:+O=,pt7BoIpwgV[",0,320,364,"complete",true,false,[21],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24,"role":25,"bio":7},"01kx2ezfanvz9stpf6aa86geg2","nadia-owusu-iafq","Nadia Owusu","author",[27,31,35],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},89,"Memoir","memoir",[],[],[],[],[44],{"id":45,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":46,"format_label":47,"page_count":15,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":48,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":49,"asin":7,"publisher":50,"language":10,"quality_score":51,"submission_status":52},"01kx2ezfaspm4khb55e9hdag3g","unknown","Unknown","2021-01-12","9781982111229","Simon & Schuster",10,"approved",{"summary":7,"pace":54,"complexity":54,"complexity_score":55,"audience":56,"mood":57,"themes":61,"setting_period":7,"content_warnings":62},"moderate",4,"adult",[58,59,60],"emotional","reflective","inspiring",[],[63,64],"death-of-a-parent","abuse",{"id":45,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":46,"format_label":47,"page_count":15,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"publish_date":48,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":49,"asin":7,"publisher":50,"language":10},[],"2026-07-09T03:33:10.000000Z",[69,113,151,184,220,252,287,310,338,361],{"id":70,"slug":71,"title":72,"description":73,"primary_cover_url":74,"cover_blurhash":75,"first_publish_year":76,"community_rating_avg":77,"community_rating_count":78,"page_count":79,"authors":80,"genres":89,"series":109,"enrichment":110},"01kjr37ar04n3ev8epzkd6tsj4","make-your-bed-qsda","Make Your Bed","Admiral William H.

Still, when detectives asked for victims to come forward, she sent a note. With her criminal case file reopened, she saw for the first time evidence that corroborated her memories. Here were depictions of the naïve, hardworking girl she'd been, a chorister and debater, the daughter of a priest; of the two senior athletes who assaulted her and were allowed to graduate with awards; and of the faculty, doctors, and priests who had known about Crawford's assault and gone to great lengths to bury it. Now a wife, mother, and writer living on the other side of the country, Crawford learned that police had uncovered astonishing proof of an institutional silencing years before, and that unnamed powers were still trying to block her case. The slander, innuendo, and lack of adult concern that Crawford had experienced as a student hadn't been the imagined effects of trauma, after all: these were the actions of a school that prized its reputation above anything, even a child. This revelation launched Crawford on an extraordinary inquiry into the ways gender, privilege, and power shaped her experience as a girl at the gates of America's elite. Her investigation looks beyond the sprawling playing fields and soaring chapel towers of crucibles of power like St. Paul's, whose reckoning is still to come. And it runs deep into the channels of shame and guilt, witness and silencing, that dictate who can speak and who is heard in American society. An insightful, mature, beautifully written memoir, Notes on a Silencing is an arresting coming-of-age story that wrestles with an essential question for our time: what telling of a survivor's story will finally force a remedy?\" --","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx27x101a6ywejp2trpeyt23.jpg?v=195a73f9bc","LEBp5w_0Ipt6~n?FxDs.^%t7D+Rk",2020,"3.00",400,[321],{"id":322,"slug":323,"name":324},"01kx27x0zrw9wv52302kf5f000","lacy-crawford-9d4g","Lacy Crawford",[326,327,331,332],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":328,"name":329,"slug":330,"is_fiction":19},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":216,"complexity":7,"audience":56,"mood":335,"themes":337,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[182,59,336],"tense",[],{"id":339,"slug":340,"title":341,"description":342,"primary_cover_url":343,"cover_blurhash":344,"first_publish_year":345,"community_rating_avg":346,"community_rating_count":78,"page_count":347,"authors":348,"genres":353,"series":357,"enrichment":358},"01kx2bk08tj3mt47crfa5kcsk4","long-live-the-tribe-of-fatherless-girls-ucyq","Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls","\"The book I wish I'd had growing up.\" —Chanel Miller, author of Know My Name Best Books of 2019: Esquire O, The Oprah Magazine Variety Lit Hub Book Riot Electric Literature Autostraddle Finalist: NBCC John Leonard First Book Prize Lambda Literary Award New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Selection Paste Best Memoirs of the Decade Elle Best Books of the Season Washington Post Best Books of the Month Indie Next Pick Indies Introduce Pick \"A fearless debut.\" — New York Times \"[A] gorgeous reckoning.\" — Washington Post \"Flat out breathtaking.\" — Lit Hub \"Gripping and gloriously written.\" — Elle \"Utterly unforgettable.\" — NYLON \"Unnervingly satisfying.\" — Oprah Magazine \"Deeply compassionate.\" —NPR.org \"Truly stunning.\" — Cosmopolitan Acclaimed literary essayist T Kira Madden's raw and redemptive debut memoir is about coming of age and reckoning with desire as a queer, biracial teenager amidst the fierce contradictions of Boca Raton, Florida, a place where she found cult-like privilege, shocking racial disparities, rampant white-collar crime, and powerfully destructive standards of beauty hiding in plain sight. As a child, Madden lived a life of extravagance, from her exclusive private school to her equestrian trophies and designer shoe-brand name. But under the surface was a wild instability. The only child of parents continually battling drug and alcohol addictions, Madden confronted her environment alone. Facing a culture of assault and objectification, she found lifelines in the desperately loving friendships of fatherless girls. With unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, spanning from 1960s Hawai'i to the present-day struggle of a young woman mourning the loss of a father while unearthing truths that reframe her reality, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls is equal parts eulogy and love letter. It's a story about trauma and forgiveness, about families of blood and affinity, both lost and found, unmade and rebuilt, crooked and beautiful.

Going to Parties in Tehran. Watching the Marx Brothers in Tehran. ReadingLolitain Tehran.” I wrote about repressive laws and executions, about public and political abominations. Eventually I drifted into writing about private betrayals, implicating myself and those close to me in ways I had never imagined. --FromThings I Have Been Silent About Azar Nafisi, author of the beloved international bestsellerReading Lolita in Tehran, now gives us a stunning personal story of growing up in Iran, memories of her life lived in thrall to a powerful and complex mother, against the background of a country’s political revolution. A girl’s pain over family secrets; a young woman’s discovery of the power of sensuality in literature; the price a family pays for freedom in a country beset by political upheaval–these and other threads are woven together in this beautiful memoir, as a gifted storyteller once again transforms the way we see the world and “reminds us of why we read in the first place” (Newsday). Nafisi’s intelligent and complicated mother, disappointed in her dreams of leading an important and romantic life, created mesmerizing fictions about herself, her family, and her past. But her daughter soon learned that these narratives of triumph hid as much as they revealed. Nafisi’s father escaped into narratives of another kind, enchanting his children with the classic tales like the Shahnamah, the Persian Book of Kings. When her father started seeing other women, young Azar began to keep his secrets from her mother. Nafisi’s complicity in these childhood dramas ultimately led her to resist remaining silent about other personal, as well as political, cultural, and social, injustices. Reaching back in time to reflect on other generations in the Nafisi family,Things I’ve Been Silent Aboutis also a powerful historical portrait of a family that spans many periods of change leading up to the Islamic Revolution of 1978-79, which turned Azar Nafisi’s beloved Iran into a religious dictatorship. Writing of her mother’s historic term in Parliament, even while her father, once mayor of Tehran, was in jail, Nafisi explores the remarkable “coffee hours” her mother presided over, where at first women came together to gossip, to tell fortunes, and to give silent acknowledgment of things never spoken about, and which then evolved into gatherings where men and women would meet to openly discuss the unfolding revolution. Things I’ve Been Silent Aboutis, finally, a deeply personal reflection on women’s choices, and on how Azar Nafisi found the inspiration for a different kind of life. This unforgettable portrait of a woman, a family, and a troubled homeland is a stunning book that readers will embrace, a new triumph from an author who is a modern master of the memoir.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx25x5bn1k9fxsbnce4a8acr.jpg?v=5b58a6e597","LuNmc-s;t7t7~qbHWBjaI9f6ofWV",2008,352,[371],{"id":372,"slug":373,"name":374},"01kjtmqk5cxq3h0pf50v43vqd0","azar-nafisi-5wth","Azar Nafisi",[376,377,378,379,383],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":380,"name":381,"slug":382,"is_fiction":19},79,"Education","education",{"id":138,"name":139,"slug":140,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":216,"complexity":7,"audience":56,"mood":386,"themes":387,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[59,58],[],[389,498,601],{"key":390,"params":391,"works":392},"genre_year",{"genre":33,"year":9},[393,409,424,437,458,477],{"id":70,"slug":71,"title":72,"description":73,"primary_cover_url":74,"cover_blurhash":75,"first_publish_year":76,"community_rating_avg":77,"community_rating_count":78,"page_count":79,"authors":394,"genres":397,"series":405,"enrichment":406},[395,396],{"id":82,"slug":83,"name":84},{"id":86,"slug":87,"name":88},[398,399,400,401,402,403,404],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":92,"name":93,"slug":94,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":97,"name":98,"slug":99,"is_fiction":19},{"id":101,"name":102,"slug":103,"is_fiction":19},{"id":105,"name":106,"slug":107,"is_fiction":19},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":54,"complexity":7,"audience":56,"mood":407,"themes":408,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[60,59],[],{"id":114,"slug":115,"title":116,"description":117,"primary_cover_url":118,"cover_blurhash":119,"first_publish_year":120,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":121,"authors":410,"genres":412,"series":420,"enrichment":421},[411],{"id":124,"slug":125,"name":126},[413,414,415,416,417,418,419],{"id":129,"name":130,"slug":131,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":134,"name":135,"slug":136,"is_fiction":18},{"id":138,"name":139,"slug":140,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":144,"name":145,"slug":146,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":54,"complexity":7,"audience":56,"mood":422,"themes":423,"setting_period":7,"summary":117,"content_warnings":7},[58,59],[],{"id":221,"slug":222,"title":223,"description":224,"primary_cover_url":225,"cover_blurhash":226,"first_publish_year":76,"community_rating_avg":227,"community_rating_count":78,"page_count":228,"authors":425,"genres":427,"series":433,"enrichment":434},[426],{"id":231,"slug":232,"name":233},[428,429,430,431,432],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":238,"name":239,"slug":240,"is_fiction":19},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":243,"name":244,"slug":245,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":180,"complexity":7,"audience":56,"mood":435,"themes":436,"setting_period":7,"summary":224,"content_warnings":7},[249,250],[],{"id":438,"slug":439,"title":440,"description":441,"primary_cover_url":442,"cover_blurhash":443,"first_publish_year":444,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":445,"authors":446,"genres":451,"series":454,"enrichment":455},"01knpyg576zcegsc1cs0ycps3x","talking-as-fast-as-i-can-oold","Talking As Fast As I Can","\"This book contains some stories from my life: the awkward growing-up years, the confusing dating years, the fulfilling work years, and what it was like to be asked to play one of my favorite characters again.

That term is meaningless to me.\" She understands, she says - but he tells her, gently, that he doesn't think so, that she can't understand this completely because she is white. Beyond the Whiteness of Whiteness is Jane Lazarre's memoir of coming to terms with this painful truth, of learning to look into the nature of whiteness in a way that passionately informs the connections between herself and her family. A moving account of life in a biracial family, this book is a powerful meditation on motherhood and racism in America, the story of an education into the realities of African American culture. Lazarre has spent over twenty-five years living in a Black American family, married to an African American man, birthing and raising two sons. A teacher of African American literature, she has been influenced by an autobiographical tradition that is characterized by a speaking out against racism and a grounding of that expression in one's own experience - an overlapping of the stories of one's own life and the world. Like the stories of that tradition, Lazarre's is a recovery of memories that come together in this book with a new sense of meaning. From a crucial moment in which consciousness is transformed, to recalling and accepting the nature and realities of whiteness, each step describes an aspect of her internal and intellectual journey. Recalling events that opened her eyes to her sons' and husband's experience as Black Americans - an operation, turned into a horrific nightmare by a doctor's unconscious racism; the jarring truths brought home by a visit to an exhibit on slavery at the Richmond Museum of the Confederacy - or her own revealing missteps, Lazarre describes a movement from silence to voice, to a commitment to action, and to an appreciation of the value of a fluid, even ambiguous identity. It is a coming of age that permits a final retelling of family history and family reunion.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2e3y3sk1p8q4q0gb5vmrqs.jpg?v=51ac13ba5b","LfFFsra|?bj[M{fkoffQ~qkBRjj[",1996,154,[537],{"id":538,"slug":539,"name":540},"01kx2e3y3n37g3aqvdk7vvp8n3","jane-lazarre-kokb","Jane Lazarre",[542,543],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":216,"complexity":7,"audience":56,"mood":546,"themes":547,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[59,58],[],{"id":549,"slug":550,"title":551,"description":552,"primary_cover_url":553,"cover_blurhash":554,"first_publish_year":368,"community_rating_avg":346,"community_rating_count":78,"page_count":15,"authors":555,"genres":560,"series":567,"enrichment":568},"01kx29j5nzv4n7cnhrv3c3h00t","three-little-words-tijf","Three Little Words","Ashley spent nine years in foster care after being taken away from her mother.

As featured in When They See Us—the Netflix limited series created, written, and directed by Ava DuVernay that retells the story of the Central Park Five, the young men wrongly accused of this crime. Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on April 19, 1989, a young woman jogs alone near 102nd Street in New York City's Central Park. She is attacked, raped, savagely beaten, and left for dead. Hours later she arrives at the emergency room—comatose—she has lost so much blood that her doctors believe it’s a miracle she's still alive. Meet Trisha Meili, the Central Park Jogger. I Am the Central Park Jogger recounts the mesmerizing, inspiring, often wrenching story of human strength and transcendent recovery. Called “Hero of the Month” by Glamour magazine, Meili tells us who she was before the attack—a young Wall Street professional with a promising future—and who she has become: a woman who learned how to read, write, walk, talk, and love again...and turn horrifying violence and certain death into extraordinary healing and victorious life. With “moments of unexpected grace and insights into life’s challenges….Meili’s story—the story the public never knew—is unforgettable” (The Buffalo News).","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23jntf5755fe2s0raaj2zw.jpg?v=02d0d32171","LVPP_hyCXlMd.TRksWo}tnVsVstR",2003,280,[725],{"id":726,"slug":727,"name":728},"01kx23jnt94mkg614b97mbk48t","trisha-meili-nggg","Trisha Meili",[730,731,732,733],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":328,"name":329,"slug":330,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":105,"name":106,"slug":107,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":216,"complexity":7,"audience":56,"mood":736,"themes":737,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[60,59],[],[]]
