  Boy, Interrupted: A Southern Memoir of Faith, Identity, and Becoming is a powerful true story of a Black, queer boy growing up in rural Georgia—surviving poverty, shame, trauma, and heartbreak, and rising into the man he was always meant to be. 
  Part coming-of-age narrative, part spiritual testimony, and part exploration of identity and resilience, this memoir follows the author from the dirt roads of Upson County to college dorms in Savannah, and into classrooms, communities, and landscapes where he begins to claim freedom, purpose, and self-love. 
  Through unforgettable figures—a grandmother who was sanctuary, a mother battling illness and addiction, a distant father, and a boy navigating queerness in the rural South—the story reveals how a life can be interrupted again and again… and still bloom. 
  With honesty, humor, and lyrical insight, the memoir explores faith, queerness, Southern identity, grief, mental health, masculinity, childhood trauma, and generational survival. Readers witness a boy teased for his softness, a teen praying away parts of himself, and a young man rebuilding what the world tried to break. 
  But Boy, Interrupted is not just about surviving—it’s about becoming. 
  For anyone who has ever felt different, broken, unseen, or interrupted, this memoir offers a powerful truth: your soul can still finish the sentence.

  An intimate and freewheeling portrait of John Madden through the NFL legend's own words 
  John Madden is synonymous with football. He was the television face and voice of the nation’s most popular 
  sport, the namesake of its best-selling sports video game, and the man with the highest career winning 
  percentage of any NFL coach. 
  Despite his international fame, there was a side of Madden known only to those who listened to morning radio 
  broadcasts in the San Francisco Bay Area. That’s where Madden grew up, lived, and died. It's where for decades 
  he found joy in a daily chat with his hometown radio station: a chance to unwind, tell stories, and impart his 
  own brand of wit and wisdom. 
  In Mornings With Madden, Stan Bunger—the man most often on the other side of the mic—illuminates this 
  larger-than-life figure, drawing upon memories of more than fifteen years of daily broadcasts, backed up by 
  thousands of recordings of those conversations. Readers who adored Madden’s football acumen and quirky 
  personality on NFL broadcasts will get to know the father, husband, bad golfer, dog owner, lover of roadside 
  diners, and philosopher whose personality dominated our radio chats. 
  Featuring moving reflections alongside Madden's own words, this is a treasure trove of wry observations, 
  self-deprecating humor, clear-eyed thinking about sports and society, and the “Maddenisms” that endeared the 
  legendary coach to millions.

  A pathbreaking analysis of the relationship between Mandela the myth, and Mandela the historical figure, looking at the way images, stories, and politics have been combined to create the iconic image of Mandela that we know today. 
   
   
   
  Boehmer explores the long trajectory of Mandela's life, explaining first the historical and political context of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, and then the post-apartheid period of difficult reconciliation, including the shifts and changes in Mandela's reputation since the millennium. 
   
   
   
  This innovative postcolonial reflection takes on board the more critical revisionist literature on Mandela that has emerged since 2015, looking at responses to his death in 2013, and the 2018 commemorations of the 100th anniversary of his birth. 
   
   
   
  The first edition set a trend in scholarship on Mandela by reading his character and achievements through the lens of his influences, interests, and leading ideas. The second edition extends this focus with a far-reaching critical look at meanings of reconciliation and Mandela's ethic of reciprocity.
