Swimming with Maya: A Mother’s Story by Eleanor Vincent
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs
“Maya’s chest rises and falls. The ventilator hisses, the computers beep, fiber optic cable snakes into her skull. I never knew love could be so big, that it could expand to allow even this. I have a premonition of lifelong grief rolling toward me, but I know that, once again, I am being asked to give my daughter her freedom.” from Chapter 3 of Swimming with Maya
That was the moment I realized I had no right, nor any power, to hold my daughter here. I had to let her go. I gave in to her coma and ultimate death because they were hers not mine, a destiny I could never have imagined. That moment of surrender marked me for life. Within hours, I was told that Maya was brain dead. I was asked to donate her organs and tissues to save strangers’ lives, restore their sight, or improve their mobility. I said yes. Two years later I met the man who received my daughter’s heart, his wife, and two children. As I listened to Maya’s heartbeat in Fernando’s chest, I experienced the powerful miracle of transplantation.
I believe we read to experience life vividly. Good writing puts us inside the mind and heart of the writer, creating a world we can inhabit, a safe space to vicariously experience another’s life. Swimming with Maya is vital testimony about how losses can be healed. It shows how even the most unthinkable loss contains the seeds of healing. If we choose life over death, if we reach out to others, and if we learn not to take disaster personally, we can earn how to go on, carrying our dear ones with us, to a place of wholeness. –Author Eleanor Vincent

Everything I Never Wanted to Be by Dina Kucera
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs
Imagine a “Leave it to Beaver” in which June works as a grocery store clerk by day, a stand-up comic at night, and struggles to stay sober all the time. In addition, Ward likes to get high, Wally is gay, and Beaver is a heroin addict. That’s Dina Kucera’s life.
Called “the funniest book ever about addiction,” this is the true story of a family’s battle with alcohol and drugs. This is NOT a story of a caring family member or friend rescuing a loved one from drug abuse. Rather, this is a unique tale of an addict trying to save other addicts.
Dina is an alcoholic and pill addict, and her daughters all struggle with addiction–including her youngest daughter, who started using heroin at age fourteen. On top of all that, Dina is trying to make it as a stand-up comic and author so she can quit her crummy job as a grocery store clerk. Through it all, Dina does her best to hold her family together, keep her faith, and maintain her sense of humor. Any story filled with alcoholics and drug addicts is bound to include horrific events. But in the end, this is an uplifting story that can change behavior and save lives–and make you laugh along the way.
