Past tense : facing family secrets and finding myself in therapy / by Mardou,1975-author,artist,colorist,letterer;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 324-325)When Sacha Mardou turned forty-years-old, she was leading a life that looked perfect on the outside: happily married to the love of her life, enjoying motherhood and her six-year-old daughter, and her first book had just been published. But for reasons she couldn't explain, the anxiety that had always plagued her only seemed to be getting worse. The product of a stoic, working-class British family, Sacha had a deeply seeded distrust of mental health treatment, but now, living the life she'd built in the US and desperate for relief, she finds herself in a therapist's office for the first time. There she begins the real work of growing up: learning to understand her family of origin and the childhood trauma she thought she'd left hidden in the past but is still entangled in her present life. Past Tense takes us inside Sacha's therapy sessions, which over time become life-changing: She begins to come to terms with her turbulent and complicated upbringing, which centered around her now estranged father, who had a violent relationship with her mother and would later go to prison for sexually abusing her stepsister. With her therapist's guidance, she sees how these wounds and other generational trauma has been passed through her family as far back as her grandmother's experiences during The Blitz of World War Two.

Goodbye, my Havana : the life and times of a gringa in revolutionary Cuba / by Veltfort, Anna,author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)852224;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 221-227).Havana Bay -- The University of Havana -- The Sierra Maestra -- "Morgan!" & the Malecón -- The revolutionary offensive -- A family visit -- The last ship"A compelling graphic novel-memoir of the author's decade or so experiences as a gringa teenager brought to Cuba by parents supportive of the revolution and ultimately forced to flee during the political crackdowns that consolidated Castro's power and that, for lesbians and homosexuals, were harrowing in a particular kind of way"--"An eyewitness account of idealism, self-discovery, and loss under one of the twentieth-century's most repressive political regimes. Set against a backdrop of world-changing events during the headiest years of the Cuban Revolution, Goodbye, My Havana follows young Connie Veltfort as her once relatively privileged life among a community of anti-imperialist expatriates turns to progressive disillusionment and heartbreak. The consolidation of Castro's position brings violence, cruelty, and betrayal to Connie's doorstep. And the crackdown that ultimately forces her family and others to flee for their lives includes homosexuals among its targets--Connie's coming-of-age story is one also about the dangers of coming out. Looking back with a mixture of hardheaded clarity and tenderness at her alter ego and a forgotten era, with this gripping graphic memoir Anna Veltfort takes leave of the past even as she brings neglected moments of the Cold War into the present." --

Super late bloomer : my early days in transition : an up and out collection / by Kaye, Julia,1988-author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)679432;
"A highly personal collection documenting the early months of artist Julia Kaye's gender transition. Instead of a traditional written diary, Julia Kaye has always turned to art as a means of self-reflection. So when she began her gender transition in 2016, she decided to use her popular webcomic, Up and Out, to process her journey and help others with similar struggles realize they weren't alone. Julia's poignant, relatable comics honestly depict her personal ups and downs while dealing with the various issues involved in transitioning-- from struggling with self-acceptance and challenging societal expectations, to moments of self-love and joy. Super Late Bloomer both educates and inspires, as Julia faces her difficulties head-on and commits to being wholly, authentically who she was always meant to be."--Page [4] of cover.410L
