No Doctor! You're Wrong.
Author: Sherri Antoinette
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525564358
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
We have been brought up to believe that, when we become sick, we can trust our medical system and (more specifically) our doctors to fix us. It’s their calling and their duty. We hope that when they don’t know or understand what is wrong, they will keep investigating until they figure it out. Unfortunately, that is often not the case. Doctors are human, and as such, often find it easier to dismiss unusual combinations of symptoms, or assign a familiar but vague label, regardless of whether it actually fits the symptoms being described. It seems easier to discount symptoms when they don’t make sense rather than admit that they don’t know everything, and then make the effort to find out. This is the story of one woman’s physical, emotional, and spiritual journey through dis-ease to healing―a journey made possible by the determination of her devoted husband, who refused to give up on eventually uncovering the answer to a simple but heart-wrenching question: What is wrong with my wife?

Troubled
Author: Rob Henderson
Publisher: Swift Press
ISBN: 1800753659
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
'Masterpiece' Evening Standard 'Fascinating' The Economist Best Titles of 2024 In this vivid coming-of-age memoir, Rob Henderson recounts growing up in foster care, enlisting in the US Air Force, attending elite universities – and what he learnt from seeing life from both sides of the tracks. Rob Henderson was born to a drug-addicted mother and a father he never met, ultimately shuttling between ten different foster homes in California. When he was adopted into a loving family, he hoped that life would finally be stable and safe. He was wrong: tragedy, poverty and violence marked his adolescent years. An unflinching portrait of shattered families, desperation, and determination, Troubled recounts how Henderson eventually managed to find an escape route through the military, which led to an academic career at Yale and Cambridge. As he reflects on the fate of many of his friends – drugs, death, prison – Henderson never escapes the feeling of being on the outside looking in, or a sense that his academic achievements are hollow compared to the love and protection that comes from stable family life. He dissects the hypocrisies of contemporary social class and shows how the most privileged among us benefit from a set of 'luxury beliefs' that actively harm the most vulnerable. Rave Reader Reviews 'Eye-opening and heart-breaking' 'Inspiring' 'Incredible' 'Wow' 'Powerful and thought-provoking'

The Natural Mother of the Child
Author: Krys Malcolm Belc
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1640094385
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Krys Malcolm Belc's visual memoir-in-essays explores how the experience of gestational parenthood—conceiving, birthing, and breastfeeding his son Samson—eventually clarified his gender identity. Krys Malcolm Belc has thought a lot about the interplay between parenthood and gender. As a nonbinary, transmasculine parent, giving birth to his son Samson clarified his gender identity. And yet, when his partner, Anna, adopted Samson, the legal documents listed Belc as “the natural mother of the child.” By considering how the experiences contained under the umbrella of “motherhood” don’t fully align with Belc’s own experience, The Natural Mother of the Child journeys both toward and through common perceptions of what it means to have a body and how that body can influence the perception of a family. With this visual memoir in essays, Belc has created a new kind of life record, one that engages directly with the documentation often thought to constitute a record of one’s life—childhood photos, birth certificates—and addresses his deep ambivalence about the “before” and “after” so prevalent in trans stories, which feels apart from his own experience. The Natural Mother of the Child is the story of a person moving past societal expectations to take control of his own narrative, with prose that delights in the intimate dailiness of family life and explores how much we can ever really know when we enter into parenting.
