FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES:
One Mother’s Battle for Her Child’s Mind, Body, and Right to Be Seen

by Jenn Garofolo

Crisis is rarely a single moment.

It is the slow unraveling. The hospital wristbands. The school meetings. The insurance denials. The nights you lie awake calculating risk and hope in equal measure.

In Fighting for Their Lives, Jenn Garofolo traces two distinct fights. The first began when her child was 2 years old, a mental health crisis that would stretch across a decade of hospitalizations and treatment placements. The second began when he came out as transgender. They are not the same fight. But one deepened the other. And she finds herself battling the very systems she had spent her career inside. The collision is impossible to ignore.

This is a story about resilience. About identity. About the fierce and imperfect fight to protect the people you love when the systems around you fall short.

BEFORE CLOSURE

by Shadley Grei

WINNER: Insightful LGBTQ+ Perspectives Special Distinction, 2026 Midwest Book Awards.

"(Before Closure) succeeds as both a character study and an aesthetic exercise: careful, observant, and quietly precise."

"Grei delivers a heartfelt exploration of what happens when the pillars of family life crack without warning … echoing the lyrical melancholy of authors like Ann Patchett at her most elegiac."
- Booklife Review (Publishers Weekly), Editor's Pick

Seven months ago, Carol Parker left a note on the kitchen counter and walked out on her life, leaving behind a husband of nearly forty years and two adult children to navigate the silence she left behind.

In three days, Clayton is convinced his wife will return. It will be their fortieth wedding anniversary, and he believes she’ll come back to celebrate and rebuild what’s been broken.

Frankie and Jules aren’t so sure. Frankie has gone numb in the wake of his own relationship’s collapse, and Jules is barely holding a fragile marriage together. As one Iowa summer weekend unfolds, each of them must face an invitation to rethink the future they were expecting.

Told with sharp insight and quiet compassion, Before Closure is a tender portrait of love stretched thin, the burden of unspoken truths, and the messy grace of daring to live.
