Lymphomania: A Mostly True Account of Life, Love, and Lymphoma (SOFT COVER) By Gregg Goldman
$20.95
“Cali, you have stage 3S B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.”
Gregg Goldman never imagined he would hear these words spoken to his wife after twenty-four years of marriage. The COVID-19 pandemic was already daunting, but at least it was happening outside; this was a crisis occurring directly in his own home, his sanctuary. However, with Cali now too sick to rule the roost, Gregg puts his introverted tendencies aside to deal with the kids, Cali’s ever-present family, concerned friends, doctors with way too much on their plate, and a zillion other tasks that may be normal for most but are foreign to a guy who barely likes talking to people.
In this emotional and darkly humorous memoir of marriage and self-realization, Gregg falls in love with his wife all over again as she shows incredible strength and vulnerability during a time when the fear of death overshadows the hope for a
better future.

Finding Beauty in the Gray (Hard Cover) by Hugh J. Willard
$32.00
In this brilliant collection of essays, Finding Beauty in the Gray invites you into the living rooms, backyard gardens, mountain apple orchards, and coastal boardwalks of folks approaching, or in the fertile soil of, their retirement years. This landscape offers excitement, and maybe some trepidation, as Third-Agers navigate the questions: “Who am I today? Who or what matters to me now? What gifts do I have to offer myself and my community?”
Follow Hugh Willard as he shares the stories of Third-Agers gathered at cocktail parties; by neighbors’ mailboxes; in his counseling practice; and even at the literal feet of two-story, recycled, wooden trolls in coastal Maine. Hugh gives voice to their experiences and some of his own through lively, joyful, and, at times, gritty essays. Complementing these essays and themes are some of Hugh’s poems—verses of love, loss, legacy, play, and always beauty.

All Mixed Up- Soft Cover by Lexi Andresen Lutz
$14.95
We are no longer in a world where people can be defined by one or two syllables. We are increasingly more unique and more complex humans. This is the beauty of America, and it should be shared and acknowledged.
Growing up in a multicultural household with a Filipino mother and German-Irish father, Alexandria “Lexi” Lutz has always been fascinated by the complexities of her identity. Despite a happy childhood and supportive parents, she often felt like an outsider while living in an environment where most people identified with one race.
In light of recent social and political movements surrounding race and identity, Lexi was inspired to write about being multiracial and racially ambiguous in America, as well as the identity crisis that comes with it.
All Mixed Up delves into the complexities of navigating different cultural identities and the importance of belonging in today’s society, empowering multiracial individuals to find beauty in their ambiguity.
