The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
A young girl's world fractures when her mother leaves her marriage and the security of their white, upper middle class neighborhood for a lesbian relationship and a new home in a working-class, Latino neighborhood across town in Melissa Hart's memoir, Gringa: A Contradictory Childhood (Seal Press). Though she prefers life at her mother's young Melissa's contact with her is limited when a judge declares her mother's relationship "unnatural," leaving her to make sense of her place in two disparate worlds. "In her refreshingly honest memoir, Hart lets us in on the desires, aspirations, and vulnerabilities of growing up as a queerspawn who's straight and forcibly separated from her lesbian mom. Her courageous and engaging prose made me laugh, cry, and, at times, empathically cringe. A wonderfully story from a brave and endearing soul!" - Rachel Epstein.
