It's My Whole Life - Charlotte...

Susan Wider

“It’s my whole life” are the words Charlotte Salomon is said to have used to describe a series of thirteen hundred paintings she created between 1940 and 1942 while in hiding from the Nazis. The paintings are an extraordinary, vivid
document: saturated in the sunlit colors of the Mediterranean; full of powerfully expressed love, anxiety, joy, and despair; and arranged as a sequential narrative overlayed with painted words, like a graphic novel. The story they tell is one of a
prosperous childhood in prewar Berlin, of fleeing from the Nazi regime after Kristallnacht, and of going into hiding in southern France. There, as the war closed in, Charlotte Salomon painted feverishly, documenting her life and the often
troubled lives of her family, her escape to and existence in France, and her struggle to come to terms with the darkness falling around her. When Germany took control of the region, she packed up the paintings and gave them to a friend
for safekeeping. Shortly afterward, she was captured and deported to Auschwitz, where she was murdered.

Charlotte Salomon’s painted memoir has been compared to Anne Frank’s universally famous work as a visual analog to Anne’s diary. It tells a compelling story—not only of the war and the Holocaust, but of a passionate, creative young
woman hungering for a place in the world and the ability to express herself. In It’s My Whole Life, Susan Wider charts Charlotte’s life and illuminates her work in a distinctive biography for young readers.

The Tourniquet - Shivers

Lark Lauren

In Shivers, the final turning of The Tourniquet series, the crisis deepens—not of war or politics, but of meaning. The Sleeper has spread: a quiet forgetting, a disconnection from soul, from story, from the sacred rhythm that once bound lives together. People move from one task to the next, generous in action but hollow within. The common thread is fraying. 
Velora, once obsessed with purging memory and controlling narrative, begins to unravel. Her transformation is slow, marked by silence and subtle recognition. She shifts from deletion to devotion, learning to archive not for clarity, but for compassion. Father Labby, long a keeper of ritual, faces his own reckoning—will he cling to structure, or surrender to the spiral? 
At the heart of it all is Maria, whose presence is not loud but luminous. Her stories, her gestures, her dance in the Spirala Pașilor Smeriți become a living transmission. She doesn’t speak truth. She becomes it. 
This final volume is a pilgrimage through fragmentation and resonance, a choreography of souls seeking to rethread what was lost. It is not a conclusion, but a convergence where the spiral tightens, the Sleeper stirs, and the thread is finally seen not as metaphor, but as memory made sacred.
