Silence, full stop : a memoir / by Shor, Karina,author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)890476;

"Schor's pull-no-punches graphic memoir debut depicts her attempts as a young woman to recover from trauma, with striking illustrations that toggle between realism and fragmented, color-saturated dreamscapes. As a Jewish child in Moldova in the late 1980s, Karina begins life as an outsider, but moving with her parents to Israel as "communism was crumbling" only lands her in a place where everything is "exciting, unique... and out of reach" for her impoverished, culture-shocked family. An acquaintance of her father's sexually assaults her, setting off years of discomfort in her body and self-destructive behavior, including an eating disorder. Karina tells her parents about the assault soon after it occurs, and they send her to therapy, but taking the "right" actions doesn't save her from shame-based anxiety as she grows up. After a series of bad, druggy boyfriends contributes to her own drug abuse, Karina is scared into sobriety by an STD. But even going to college and pursuing art don't bring her peace. For comfort, she hangs on to her father's words: "Nothing hurts forever." The plot itself is tragically familiar, but what stands out is the gorgeously grim-yet-colorful art (an image where she's manipulating her own face into smiling by putting her fingers in her eye sockets is especially chilling), and Schor's avoidance of pat confessional-as-healing tropes. This is all the more powerful for its realistic acknowledgement of life's darkness."-- Publishers weekly, 11/13/2023.

Good girls : a story and study of anorexia / by Freeman, Hadley,author.(CARDINAL)486929;

"In 1995, Hadley Freeman wrote in her diary: "I just spent three years of my life in mental hospitals. So why am I crazier than I was before????" From the ages of fourteen to seventeen, Freeman lived in psychiatric wards after developing anorexia nervosa. Her doctors informed her that her body was cannibalizing her muscles and heart for nutrition, but they could tell her little else: why she had it, what it felt like, what recovery looked like. For the next twenty years, Freeman lived as a "functioning anorexic," grappling with new forms of self-destructive behavior as the anorexia mutated and persisted. Anorexia is one of the most widely discussed but least understood mental illnesses. In a brilliant narrative that combines personal experience with deep reporting, Freeman delivers an incisive and bracing work that details her experiences with anorexia--the shame, fear, loneliness and rage--and how she overcame it. She interviews doctors to learn how treatment for the illness has changed since she was hospitalized and what new discoveries have been made about the illness, including its connection to autism, OCD, and metabolic rate. She learns why the illness always begins during adolescence and how this reveals the difficulties for girls to come of age. Freeman tracks down the women with whom she was hospitalized and reports on how their recovery has progressed over decades. Good Girls is an honest and hopeful story of resilience that offers a message to the nearly 30 million Americans who suffer from eating disorders: Life can be enjoyed, rather than merely endured"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 265-271).

Teenagers are often left feeling unheard and misunderstood, and parents are left feeling bewildered by the changes in their child at adolescence and their sudden lack of effectiveness as parents. The parent has become unavailable, the teen responds in kind, and a negative, often destructive cycle of communication begins. The available parent of a teenager is open to discussion, offering advice and solutions, but not insisting on them. He allows his child to make some mistakes, setting limits, primarily where health and safety are concerned. He never lectures -- he is available but not controlling. He is neither cruel nor dismissive, ever. The available parent is fun and funny, and can bring levity to the most stressful situation. All of thyat is to say, there are no conditions to his availability -- it is absolute"-
