  Professor Greg Wrenn likes to tell his nature-writing students, "The ecological is personal, and the personal is ecological." What he's never told them is how he's lived out those correspondences to heal from childhood abuse at the hands of his mother. 
   
   
   
  Weaving together memoir and cutting-edge science, Mothership is not just a queer coming-of-age story. It's a deeply researched account of how coral reefs and a psychedelic tea called ayahuasca helped Greg heal from complex PTSD—a disorder of trust, which makes the very act of bonding with someone else panic-inducing. From the tide pools in Florida where he grew up, to Indonesia's Raja Ampat archipelago and the Amazon rainforest, this is his search for wholeness when talk therapy and pharmaceuticals did little to help. Along the way, as his ecological conscience wakes up, he takes listeners underwater to the last pristine reefs on earth, and into the psyche. 
   
   
   
  Written with prophetic urgency, Mothership ultimately asks if doses of nature will be enough to save us before it's too late.

  CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota's memoir Combat Love is her story of growing up longing for stability and attachment as the foundation of her family crumbled. Set on the Jersey Shore in the free-range 1980s, Camerota finds the belonging she craves courtesy of a local punk rock band named Shrapnel and their diehard fans. Combat Love chronicles her near-misses and misadventures at clubs like CBGB and Max's Kansas City, coupled with the sex, drugs, and punk rock of 1980s New Jersey. By the time she leaves home at sixteen, it feels like home had left her long ago. 
   
    
   
  Combat Love is also the story of two women, mother and daughter, trying to forge their own paths and independence, and find their own happiness, success, and wholeness. Camerota's story searches for the line between shelter and risk, nurture and neglect, parenting and personal freedom. What are we willing to sacrifice for self-actualization and happiness? What if the answer is your mother, or your daughter? 
   
    
   
  The two-time Emmy-award-winning Camerota retraces her steps down an often gritty path toward her dream of becoming a journalist. At times heartbreaking and pulse-pounding, Combat Love is an inspiration for anyone who's ever searched for that elusive place called home.

  Welcome to The Garden!  
  This is a place for flowers and light, bud and bloom. Just beware of what’s beneath the dirt, or scurrying in the dark. Here, 15 writers unpick the tapestry of life, death and regrowth in fantastical tales. This is a place where fruit may carry the rot of broken bonds, where flowers carry the burden of life and loss, hands reach out from the roots and teeth gnash their own way out… And ancient visitors might borrow the familiar shape of wolf & rabbit, fox & crow. 
  Stories by Ellie Allan, Ella Barron Carton, Finola Cahill, Lyndsey Croal, Steve Denehan, Sofie De Smyter, Marisol Karcs, Grace Kully, Shane Larkin, Sean Michael, Bryan Miller, Claire Oleson, C.T. O’Mahony, Briá Purdy and Dorian Rose. Edited by Paula Dias Garcia, Sam Agar, Marc Clohessy and Aran Kelly.
