Sugar and Slate

Charlotte Williams

'It is Williams's Welshness that makes the examination of her mixed-race identity distinctive, but it is the humour, candour and facility of her style that make it exceptional . . . an engaging and perceptive voice describing an engrossing and particular personal story.' – Gary Younge
'In its exploration of geographical, racial and cultural dislocation, Sugar and Slate is in the finest tradition of work to have emerged from the black diaspora in recent times.' – The Guardian
'Within this review, I can only scrape the surface of the many dimensions of Williams' memoir, so I strongly encourage you to read this precious book for yourself, and find those parts of it which speak most to you.' – Sarah Tanburn, Nation.Cymru
'Warmly recommended to any curious minds, at 20 years old Sugar And Slate still speaks to us in these modern times, helping to ensure marginal voices remain heard.' – Buzz
A mixed-race young woman, the daughter of a white Welsh-speaking mother and black father from Guyana, grows up in a small town on the coast of north Wales. From there she travels to Africa, the Caribbean and finally back to Wales. Sugar and Slate is a story of movement and dislocation in which there is a constant pull of to-ing and fro-ing, going away and coming back with always a sense of being 'half home'. This is both a personal memoir and a story that speaks to the wider experience of mixed-race Britons. It is a story of Welshness and a story of Wales and above all a story for those of us who look over our shoulder across the sea to some other place.
It would have been so much easier if I had been able to say, 'I come from Africa,' then maybe added under my breath, 'the long way round.' Instead, the Africa thing hung about me like a Welsh Not, a heavy encumbrance on my soul; a Not-identity; an awkward reminder of what I was or what I wasn't.
Once at a seminar, one of those occasions when the word Diaspora crops up too many times and where there aren't too many of us present, the only other Diaspora-person sought me out. His eyes caught mine in recognition of something I can't say I could name, yet I must have responded because later as we chatted over fizzy water and conference packs, he offered quite uninvited and with all the authority of an African: 'People like you? You gotta get digging and if you dig deep enough you're gonna find Africa.'

Mother Lode - Confessions of a...

Gretchen Staebler

". . . makes you feel as though a kindred soul is speaking to you." —Readers' Favorite 
 
 
 
At the age of sixty, Gretchen Staebler promises to spend one year in her childhood home caring for her stubbornly independent ninety-six-year-old mother—sort of a middle-aged gap year. Then her mother will move to assisted living and she will return to her own life. 
 
 
 
It doesn't go as planned. 
 
 
 
Rather than a retrospective, this mother-daughter story unfolds in real time with gripping honesty, bringing the listener along with the narrator through the struggle, doubts, and complexities of caregiving and daughterhood—and the beacons of light. 
 
 
 
Penetrating the fog of her mother's advancing dementia and myriad health issues with humor, frustration, and compassion, Staebler slowly comes to accept and respect the mother she got, if not the one she wished for. In the process, she manifests non-negotiable self-care and learns more than she wants to know about aging, cognitive loss, and the healthcare system. 
 
 
 
Any listener who is looking for a road map in caring for a family member, has ever had a mother, or is looking aging in the eye will find company on the journey in this candid, multi-award-winning memoir.

Wine Bach and Cuckoo Clocks -...

Lorna Stuber

If a friendship lasts longer than fifteen years, you're no longer friends. You're family. 
Since childhood, Lorna has been curious about Germany and her ancestral roots there. She was fourteen when her great-grandfather died, a man who was born in what is now part of Ukraine but who was a self-proclaimed, proud German. 
Having grown up during the Cold War, Lorna had always viewed the former East and West Germany as being starkly different until 1999, when she met Christine, a woman from the former East Germany who became one of Lorna's closest lifetime friends. 
Over twenty-five years, Lorna made several trips to Germany in search of the world's largest cuckoo clock, a hotel in Berlin where guests can sleep in a coffin or prison cell, another hotel along the Rhein River that is owned by a family who may or may not be Lorna's distant relatives, sausage that meets the Nuremberg Sausage Protection Association's standards, and the best view of Neuschwanstein Castle. 
In her most recent memoir, travel and humour writer Lorna Stuber tells of her adventures in Germany while she reconnects with and learns more about her familial ties to Europe.
