  Holler Rat - A Memoir

  Anya Liftig

  • 0

  Anya Liftig grew up with a foot in two very different worlds: While her mother's upbringing was so rural that the other kids called her "holler rat," her father came from a comfortable, upper-middle-class Jewish family. Anya spent school years in affluent Connecticut and summers in the holler. Shaped by the experience, she would go on to win a scholarship to Yale and become an acclaimed artist, using provocative performances to explore the contradictions and unanswered questions of her life. But when the world Anya was building for herself shattered, she was forced to reconcile where she'd come from with who she was and who she wanted to be. 
   
   
   
  In Holler Rat, Liftig masterfully interweaves family lore from her Appalachian childhood with her performance art pieces and scenes of the yearlong period in which her life fell apart, and plumbs the cathartic self-reckoning that followed. She takes us from her Mamaw's porch to Yale; from the site of a violent family land feud to a pre-gentrified Bushwick loft; and from a devastating childhood leg injury to having 243 raw eggs pelted at her in the name of art. In visceral, beautiful prose that ranges from raunchy and outrageous to sobering and tragic, Holler Rat is the origin story of an unconventional artistic life and a captivating account of the stumbling blocks, sacrifices, and discoveries along the way.

  Bipolar Faith - A Black Woman's...

  Monica A. Coleman, Thema...

  Overcome with mental anguish, Monica A. Coleman's great-grandfather had his two young sons pull the chair out from beneath him when he hanged himself. That noose remained tied to a rafter in the shed, where it hung above the heads of his eight children who played there for years to come. 
   
   
   
  As it had for generations before her, a heaviness hung over Monica throughout her young life. As an adult, this rising star in the academy saw career successes often fueled by the modulated highs of undiagnosed Bipolar II Disorder, as she hid deep depression that even her doctors skimmed past in disbelief. Serendipitous encounters with Black intellectuals like Henry Louis Gates Jr., Angela Davis, and Renita Weems were countered by long nights of stark loneliness. Only as Coleman began to face her illness was she able to live honestly and faithfully in the world. And in the process, she discovered a new and liberating vision of God. 
   
   
   
  Written in crackling prose, Monica's spiritual autobiography examines her long dance with trauma, depression, and the threat of death in light of the legacies of slavery, war, sharecropping, poverty, and alcoholism that masked her family history of mental illness for generations.

  Twenty-four + One: A Mother’s Story of Faith, Love and Miracles is a heartfelt memoir chronicling the powerful journey of Ash Ruddy, a mother whose strength and faith were forged in the fires of uncertainty and fear. At just twenty-four weeks and one day into her pregnancy, Ash faced delivering her son, Michael. What began as a medical emergency quickly unfolded into a life-altering spiritual journey. 
  As Ash battles the emotional and physical trials of extreme prematurity, she finds herself leaning into something greater than medicine or human strength—her growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Through late nights filled with prayer, moments of doubt met with grace, and quiet miracles that affirmed her hope, Ash learns what it means to trust fully in God’s plan. 
  This deeply personal account explores the intersection of motherhood and faith, as Ash walks through every appointment, every complication, and every answered and unanswered prayer with vulnerability and resilience. Twenty-four + One is not just the story of a mother fighting for her child’s life—it is the story of a woman transformed by the love of Christ. 
  With each chapter, readers witness Ash’s evolving faith, her unwavering love for her son, and the miracles—big and small—that led her closer to her Savior. It’s a testimony to the power of God’s presence in life’s darkest valleys, and a tribute to the miracles that happen when we surrender to His will. 
  Both inspiring and deeply moving, Twenty-four + One is a testament to the strength of a mother’s love, the beauty of unwavering faith, and the grace that carries us when we can no longer carry ourselves.

  One dark and stormy winter night, outside his remote New England farmhouse, Hal Borland heard howling. At the door were a half-starved black-and-white mutt and his puppy companion. While reluctant to welcome these uninvited guests into their home, Hal and his wife gave them refuge, finally naming them Pat and Mike. When a local boy lost his dog, and the Borland's gave Mike to him, Pat's strong personality blossomed, and he becomes a treasured companion and member of the family. 
   
   
   
  Accompanying Hal on hunts (and himself proving a formidable threat to local wildlife), Pat is the ideal touchstone for insights into the natural world. The Borlands learn valuable lessons from Pat—trust, relationships, and harmony with nature—the same values that led their move from city to country. Through this process, they develop a deeper appreciation for the place they call home. The Dog Who Came to Stay is a first-rate memoir detailing the immeasurable bond between humans and their beloved companions. With touching insight and wry humor free from sentimentality, it's a compelling tale for all ages!
