A "poignant" (Boston Globe) family memoir that gives new meaning to hindsight, insight, and forgivenessHeather Sellers is face-blind—that is, she has prosopagnosia, a rare neurological condition that describes the inability to recognize faces. Growing up, unaware of the reason for her perpetual confusion and anxiety, she took what cues she could from speech, hairstyle, and gait. The truth was revealed two decades later when Heather took the man she would marry home to meet her parents and discovered the astonishing truth about her family, herself, and living with mental illness. In this uplifting memoir, Sellers illuminates a deeper truth: that even in the most chaotic and heartbreaking of families, love may be seen and felt.

'Die Butter und der Schlitten'Eigentlich ist alles wie immer; Joy mag nur One-Night-Stands, Leonard bangt als alleinerziehender Vater um seinen Job, Violetta ist einsam und unglücklich, Martin reich und unglücklich, und Emma K. lebt mit ihren 91 Jahren zwischen dem Jetzt und Früher.Sie alle wohnen in einer Straße an der Küste und haben nichts miteinander zu tun. Aber nur solange, bis der Mensch begreift, dass er geliebt werden will und damit auf sich selbst zurückgeworfen wird.Dieses Buch ist so viel mehr als ein Einblick in das Leben und der Perspektiven von fünf Menschen, die mit jedem Monat immer mehr miteinander verweben.Tauchen Sie in eine Welt von heute, in der die immer gleichen Geschichten der heutigen Zeit eigentlich nie dieselben sind und in eine Welt von damals, in der die Kinder mit Zügen aus den Städten fahren mussten."Die wahren Begebenheiten der Emma K. geben diesem Buch soviel Tiefe, dass mir die Tränen kamen.""Es fühlte sich beim Lesen so an, als wäre ich jeder Einzelne und gleichzeitig Beobachter - sehr, sehr besonders."

Discjockey! Als der Rocksänger John Law ihn mit diesem Wort benannte, wusste Uwe Voss, dass er mehr war als "Plattenaufleger im Dorf-Tanzschuppen". - "Dee-Jay" in der Discothek! In Hamburg servierte er Teens und Twens englische Rock-Hits und deutsche Schlager-Tops mit lockeren Sprüchen und spannend-skurrilen Spielen. Das war in den 70er Jahren in und um Hamburg neu und füllte bald angesagte Discotheken wie Cleo, Fürstenhof, Memory, MicMac. DJ Vossis Mix aus Musik, Comedy, Spiel und Live-Events mit Stars wie Marianne Rosenberg, Jürgen Drews, Roy Black, Scott McKenzie und mehr machten ihn selbst zum Star: "Vossibär, der verrückte Discojockel." Uwe Voss tourte als Trendsetter durch Deutschland und war im Duo mit Carlo von Tiedemann Umsatz-Garant auf Zeltfesten. Er trat in der Aktuellen Schaubude des NDR auf, veranstaltete Miss-Wahlen mit Promille-Akzent und fuhr auf den Fähren der TT-Line als Gute-Laune-Käptn zur See. Zu Hause in Hamburgs ländlichem Umland wurde seine soziale Mitmachbereitschaft entdeckt. Wie es so kommt: Plötzlich war er Parteimitglied - und er stellte fest, dass genau dort vieles von dem nützlich ist, was im Showbiz Stimmung bringt. "Vossi" kann von Wahlveranstaltungen mit Peter Harry Carstensen, Angela Merkel, und Daniel Günther erzählen, von seinem "politischen Chef" Gero Storjohann und was das mit Friedrich Merz zu tun hat. Und von kollegialen Freunden wie Fips Asmussen und Günter Willumeit. Die Stars streben in die Arenen. Alles wächst - the Show must go on. Und Backstage bleibt menschlich.

Honest, humorous, poignant, and raw with emotion...Judy Kowalsky's life is filled with alcoholism, suicide, and tragic loss. As an adult, the author encounters more heartbreaking catastrophes before realizing that she has spent a lifetime meeting the same personalities, experiencing challenging emotional years of learned behaviors and actions that go well beyond childhood. Maybe you will see yourself in her recollections. Maybe you will see someone you know in them, but the author asks: What will you do when you look into the eyes of an innocent child whose potential for abuse is imminent?"The Art of Bristle is a book about one woman's journey to find herself after years of a painful life. A painful life is often found, but never shared. Thankfully, Judy Kowalsky is ready to share. Her book is full of honesty, acceptance of being an adult child of an alcoholic, pain, loss, and grief in her life. However, it is not just about her but includes all who identify with her. I strongly recommend her book. As you read it you will realize that it teaches and touches your heart.Judy's heart is in this book."-Robert J. Ackerman, PhD, Author of Perfect Daughters,Adult Daughters of Alcoholics and Co-founder of theNational Association for Children of Addiction"Many of us spend adulthood processing childhood, developmentally stuck at points of trauma, often feeling isolated and different until we find healing. Through sharing her pain, Judy's path toward regeneration gifts others with the knowledge that we are not alone. The Art of Bristle, like Judy, is authentic, gently written by an empathic, faithful soul who found a way out of darkness, fear and anger borne through cruelty and judgement.Judy's memories, while beautifully penned, send one back to the safety and innocence of childhood and then step repeatedly outside of inviolability. Judy artfully paints pictures of her life, relating struggles of growing up too soon, bearing misplaced blame, becoming an actress portraying normalcy, developing survival skills, establishing boundaries, accepting that sometimes there are no answers and ultimately embracing self-acceptance and forgiveness.Those who practice in any medical or mental health clinic setting should read The Art of Bristle to understand better who sits in the chair across from them. Those who have experienced abuse, and its sequelae will hopefully realize that we are blameless, that we are and always have been more than adequate, and that we are neither too much, nor too little. We are intelligent, we are kind; we are enough; we love, and we are loved.I knew Judy in high school, a sweet, quiet girl with a beautiful smile who hid her pain well, as I did mine. We didn't talk about abuse back then and hid our bruises. Hopefully, this book will contribute to effecting change, beginning dialogues, reducing stigma, and encouraging the acceptance and promotion of people seeking help." ~ Dr. Sherry Lynn Jones, EdD, RN, MS, Author of Confessions of a Trauma Junkie and More Confessions of a Trauma Junkie

Well on his way toward this goal, he experienced a major setback after an early-morning fire destroyed his RV and all his possessions, forcing him to rebuild his life to stay on the path to finishing his goal.
