Devout
“This moving memoir is always attuned to the possibilities of community and spiritual sustenance, even as it refuses to efface the struggles at its core—believing that this struggle, too, can be a thing of beauty.” —Leslie Jamison, author of The Recovering In this revelatory memoir, Anna Gazmarian tells the story of how her evangelical upbringing in North Carolina failed to help her understand the mental health diagnosis she received, and the work she had to do to find proper medical treatment while also maintaining her faith. When Anna is diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2011, she’s faced with a conundrum: while the diagnosis provides clarity about her manic and depressive episodes, she must confront the stigma that her evangelical community attaches to her condition. Over the course of ten years, we follow Anna on her journey to reframe her understanding of mental health to expand the limits of what her religious practice can offer. In Devout: A Memoir of Doubt, Anna shows that the pursuing our emotional health and our spiritual well-being is one single mission and, in both cases, an act of faith.
The Right Kind of White
A revelatory memoir that earnestly reckons with whiteness. As the product of progressive parents and a liberal upbringing, Garrett Bucks prided himself on the pursuit of being a “good white person.” The kind of white person who treats their privilege as a responsibility and not a burden; the kind of white person who people of color see as the peak example of racial allyship; the kind of white person who other white people might model their own aspirations of being “better” after. But it’s Bucks obsession with “goodness” that prevents him from building meaningful relationships, particularly those who look like him. The Right Kind of White charts Garrett’s intellectual and emotional odyssey in his pursuit of this ideal whiteness, the price of its admission, and the work he’s doing to bridge the divide from those he once sought distance from.

Ramberg's War
Ramberg's War is an off-beat, satirical, page-turning novel of love and war.

SHADOWS OF SOUTHIE
For thirty years, Garrett Miller evaded judgment for crimes he committed as a youth in South Boston. His postponement with justice ends when a SWAT team raids his home and arrests him for a brutal murder. Sentenced to life for killing a woman he hasn't seen since leaving his troubled past behind, he learns most of his childhood friends have recently died. The murder and deaths appear linked to a photo taken long ago with three words scrawled in the lower right corner, Shadows of Southie. Garrett believes Danny Hicks, an FBI Agent and a friend once thought of as a brother, is to blame. Danny would have access to the type of technology used to frame him and also has a motive; he and Garrett share a dark secret from the past. To clear his name and settle the score with Danny, Garrett will draw on knowledge from his criminal past, a man connected with the mob, and a woman he once loved. But first - he must escape from prison.
Learning in Public

From the time Courtney E. Martin strapped her daughter, Maya, to her chest for long walks, she was curious about Emerson Elementary, a public school down the street from her Oakland home. She learned that White families in their gentrifying neighborhood largely avoided the majority-Black, poorly-rated school. As she began asking why, a journey of a thousand moral miles began. Learning in Public is the story, not just Courtney’s journey, but a whole country’s. Many of...
