  "We weren't religious per se. The most frequent mention of God in our house was my mother yelling 'Goddammit!'" 
  Part memoir, part social history, in Departure Stories: Betty Crocker Made Matzoh Balls (and other lies), Elisa Bernick uses her family’s experiences to explore Minnesota’s legacy of antisemitism and the struggle for women’s rights during the 1960s and early 1970s. She tells both heartbreaking and hilarious stories about being the only Jews in the suburb of New Hope during this period and shows how being considered “different” took a toll on her family, particularly her mother. This book discusses abandonment, abuse, intergenerational trauma, and divorce, but it uses humor and sensitivity to present a hopeful message about examining the flexibility of memory and the possibility of rewriting the stories we tell about trauma and transforming them into tales of empowerment. 
  Deftly interweaving reporting, archival material, memoir, jokes, scrapbook fragments, personal commentary, and one very special Waikiki Meatballs recipe, Bernick explores how the invisible baggage of place and memory, Minnesota's uniquely antisemitic history, and the cultural shifts of feminism and changing marital expectations contributed to her family's eventual implosion. 
  Departure Stories: Betty Crocker Made Matzoh Balls (and Other Lies) is a personal exploration of erasure, immigrants, and exiles that examines the ways departures—from places, families and memory—have far-reaching effects.

  Beatles Rewind - Essential...

  Sixty years after four young men from Liverpool changed everything, the Beatles remain the most written-about, argued-over, and obsessively studied band in the history of popular music. So, what is there left to say? 
  Quite a lot, it turns out. 
  Beatles Rewind   is a deep dive into the people, the music, and the cultural phenomenon that the Beatles became—and remain. Written by a lifelong Beatles scholar and the creator of the popular Beatles Rewind platform, this book brings together essential essays that examine each of the four Beatles as individuals, the extraordinary alchemy that happened when they played together, and the music that resulted from both. 
  The book opens where it has to: with the explosion. What was it about that moment—the Sullivan appearance, the screaming fans, the hair, the chord changes—that announced something genuinely new had arrived? From there, it examines each Beatle in depth. John Lennon: the leader, the visionary, and the provocateur who could be the most generous and the most cruel person in any room. Paul McCartney: the untrained genius who wrote melodies by instinct that trained composers spend careers trying to understand. George Harrison: the quiet spiritualist who took longer to emerge but left a body of solo work that rivals either of his more famous bandmates. And Ringo Starr: the steady, joyful, grateful heartbeat without whom none of it would sound quite right. 
  But Beatles Rewind  is more than four biographies. It examines the collective alchemy that made the Beatles something greater than the sum of their extraordinary parts, traces the evolution of their music across the most compressed and radical creative arc in pop history, and asks the questions that matter today: What does this music still mean? What did we almost lose? And what comes next?
