Resilience and Overcoming: Mental Health Awareness Month Memoirs

Sale Price: $36.76 Original Price: $45.95

Heart Berries is a powerful, poetic memoir by Terese Marie Mailhot about her coming-of-age on the Seabird Island Indian Reservation, exploring trauma, mental health (PTSD and bipolar II), abuse, and identity through a non-linear narrative. Published in 2018, it's a story of survival, grief, and reconciliation with her parents, written in a unique, fragmented style that reflects her experiences with shame and pain, and contributes to rewriting the narrative of Indigenous life. 

Making a Scene is a 2022 memoir by actress Constance Wu, written as a collection of essays rather than a chronological story, that explores her life, identity, and career through personal experiences with family, love, trauma, and fame, including her experiences with sexual harassment and the public backlash from her tweets about Fresh Off the Boat. The book delves into themes of shame, misogyny, and finding her voice, using raw and humorous stories to discuss her journey from a suburban upbringing to Hollywood stardom.
