This heartfelt, deeply personal memoir explores how a celebrated filmmaker and activist and his conservative Mormon mother built bridges across today’s great divides—and how our stories hold the power to heal. Dustin Lance Black wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay for Milk and helped overturn California’s anti–gay marriage Proposition 8, but as an LGBTQ activist he has unlikely origins—a conservative Mormon household outside San Antonio, Texas. His mother, Anne, was raised in rural Louisiana and contracted polio when she was two years old. She endured brutal surgeries, as well as braces and crutches for life, and was told that she would never have children or a family. Willfully defying expectations, she found salvation in an unlikely faith, raised three rough-and-rowdy boys, and escaped the abuse and violence of two questionably devised Mormon marriages before finding love and an improbable career in the U.S. civil service. By the time Lance came out to his mother at age twenty-one, he was a blue-state young man studying the arts instead of going on his Mormon mission. She derided his sexuality as a sinful choice and was terrified for his future. It may seem like theirs was a house destined to be divided, and at times it was. This story shines light on what it took to remain a family despite such division—a journey that stretched from the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court to the woodsheds of East Texas. In the end, the rifts that have split a nation couldn’t end this relationship that defined and inspired their remarkable lives. Mama’s Boy is their story. It’s a story of the noble quest for a plane higher than politics—a story of family, foundations, turmoil, tragedy, elation, and love. It is a story needed now more than ever.

Memoirs of a Traveling Mama is one very down-to-earth, middle-aged woman's account of her experiences in motherhood and the realization that she never seems to stop moving while awake. Her "travels" include not only trips back and forth from the kitchen to the dinner table every night, but also tales about the more exotic locales like Ireland and Mexico she is fortunate enough to visit. Often funny in retrospect, sometimes heart-wrenching while experiencing them, you will surely relate to these stories and probably find either yourself or another mama you know within them. For anyone who is a mama, or who has one, this book provides a light, comical, and contemplative read.

Mommy Memoirs is a delightful journey from pregnancies and births to marriages and a hysterectomy! There are few stones left unturned as author Ann Van De Water describes her hectic life as a mother of three boys in short read-it-and-run stories that will have her audience laughing out loud one minute and grabbing tissues the next. These true-to-life experiences filled with humor, tenderness, practicality, and joy, written by a “been there, done that” mom, will have other moms and grandmothers reminiscing and expectant moms anticipating their own adventures. All will come away knowing they are not alone on their journey through motherhood.

Confession is good for the soul. It reveals the truth that we are, as any other sinner, saved by the grace of God. To that end, our greatest battles may be as grueling as those of David when he encountered the lion, the bear, or especially the giant Goliath. As this very personal story developed, snakes and other vicious creatures made themselves known. In essence, it became a revelation. Not every battle is won; sometimes we are overtaken, and the scars of defeat will live with us forever. In the end, it is most critical that we can boldly declare, We have fought the good fight. We have finished the race. We have kept the faith. Ask yourself: How can one possibly get from here to therefrom the place of utter despair to one of absolute victory? In Some Things You Never Forget, your own stories can become your path to victory, for in them you can find the God of the impossible.
