(Un)Familiar Faces: Twelve Voices on Being Alone Together
Exploring the alienation many of us face within our own communities, the stories in (Un)Familiar Faces show that even when we fail to connect to those closest to us we are not alone. Through the lens of personal essay, research, and fiction, the twelve writers in this collection take on the potential of a community to both empower and isolate. What does friendship look like when you have ADHD and autism? What happens when a permanent injury takes away your place in a sports community that defines your identity? How does a biracial or bicultural individual fit comfortably into any one group? Although the authors don't shy away from these and other complicated situations in their lives, each piece is a celebration and exploration of self. In this moving and at times humorous collection, readers will find a story that pulls them in and resonates.
