    About this series

    Vanishing Shoals is a micro-memoir written during a year-long cancer journey, but it is not a cancer memoir because life is not made of a singular event. With alternating timelines, Sita explores formative experiences in an ashram, her parents' battles with addiction and mental illness, and the contrast between spiritual involvement and parental neglect. In the present, it starts with a rare cancer diagnosis and becomes a reconnection to spirituality, radical acceptance, and unconditional familial nurturing.

     

    Sita's book asks the question—how do we move beyond a history we'd rather hide? And how do we learn to appreciate experiences of the past as part of being a whole and flawed human?

      Cindy Cunningham's memoir, Wild Woman: Memoir in Pieces is the story of how a precocious child, raised by the Bible and emotionally absent parents, survives a violation that steals her youth and sends her on a journey of bad boys and dangerous girls, mental institutions, losing her daughter, and a deadly dance with addiction. Exploring the realms of sexual abuse, suicide, loss, and mental illness, we follow Cindy as she learns not so much how to love her self, as how to become her self: a PHd, a writer, a teacher, and a loving grandmother able to marvel at the beauty that streams through the cracks of a broken world.    Divided into three sections: Maiden, Whore, and Crone, Wild Woman is a testament to a girl's, and then a woman's, ability to navigate the darkest depths of the human heart, and emerge not unscathed, but ready to guide others through the dark.

      Unraveled Intimacies will take you into the landscape of four women's stories: "All the Boys" by Paula Gillison, "The Art of Leaving" by Mary Jo McLaughlin, "a map on the heart like a scar from a knife" by Lisa Loving, and "Unaffiliated" by Sema Wray. Within these brave, true, and unzipped narratives, you will find women with sass, bootys and unholy motives who journey through bad boys and even worse men; pastel chicks and mother assassins, how tenderly we care for even wounded abusers; nomadic teenage treks through broken glass and hell-bent hormones; and the darkest parts of love - be it from family, friendship, or religion. From the decadence of Florida to the cold austerity of upstate New York, we traverse the east coast's alcoholism, hypocrisy, mental illness, betrayal, unexpected grace, and unfathomable beauty within the lush, dark hearts of four women who love hard, and leave their whole hearts on the page.

      In Issue 4 of Unzipped, David Gerson and Stephen McMaster explore the vulnerability of becoming men; in particular, of living openly as gay men in the south. These two collections introduce you to the awkward innocence of first love, the awkward cruelty of last loves, the beauty of love between friends, and complicated familial relationships. Turning these pages could bring you tears of laughter or tears of sorrow, but it won't leave you bored for a moment.

      There's No Accounting for the Strangeness of Things tells the story of a young woman, driven by the siren song of wretched excess, who must take the world apart before she is able to put it back together again. Fortunately, the journey lands in a discovery of what it means to find home, to feel the love of the child-Valley that comes "hot and steady, like breath." Once she chooses herself, the rest of the journey, albeit still with its challenges, becomes one of discovery and sober intent, the journey to the Golden Shadow, the completion of one massive round of karma and the beginning of another, "a brief and fantastic celebration of life." - Cindy Cunningham

      We are thrilled to introduce Bare: An Unzipped Anthology, a collection of 43 unique pieces by 35 writers - some of whom are long time members of the Life in 10 Minutes community, some of whom are joining us for the first time. Some of our writers have published widely while others are debuting within these pages, but they all have at least one thing in common: they were willing to shed the layers necessary to bare the truth of their pasts, their secrets, and their hearts. Herein they grant us inside views of the body, identity, sexuality, depression, loss, hunger, and mental illness, as well as deep love, gratitude, acceptance and the bittersweet joy of remembering times and people that have passed.
