Everything I Never Wanted to Be by Dina Kucera (159 Reviews, 4.6 Stars): “How come people who have experienced such trauma write so well? So raw and funny that it almost makes me want to have horrible things happen to me so my writing will improve.” Joel Stein, Time Magazine columnist
Leaving the Hall Light On by Madeline Sharples (149 Reviews, 4.4 Stars): A mother’s story of living with her son’s bipolar disorder and surviving his suicide. “A moving read of tragedy, trying to prevent it, and coping with life after.” Midwest Book Review
Betty’s Child by Don Dempsey (115 Reviews, 4.7 Stars): In the tradition of Frank McCourt and Angela’s Ashes, the true story of one boy’s ordeals with poverty, violence, religion, and physical and mental abuse as he attempts to come of age with only his street smarts and sense of humor to guide him. “Heartrending and humorous.” Kirkus Reviews
Swimming with Maya by Eleanor Vincent (49 Reviews, 4.4 Stars): Demonstrates the remarkable process of healing after the traumatic death of a loved one. “Vincent’s poignant decision to donate Maya’s organs will resonate with even hard-boiled readers.” Booklist
Bonus books: Dream of Things also publishes anthologies of creative nonfiction – collections of essays that are “short and deep” says O’Mary, with more depth than the typical Chicken Soup story, but shorter and more digestible than Best American Essays. Download these thoughtful and thought-provoking collections for only 99 cents!

Be There Now (24 Reviews, 4.8 Stars): Travel stories from around the world. “More of an experience than reportage; I was truly THERE instead of HERE.” Marginalia
