Mom's Cancer
by Brian FiesA cartoonist chronicles how he and his grown siblings dealt with their mother&’s cancer diagnosis and treatment in this Eisner Award–winning graphic novel.Mom&’s Cancer is a graphic novel about one family&’s struggle with metastatic lung cancer. Honest, unflinching, and sometimes humorous, it is a look at the practical and emotional effect that serious illness can have on patients and their families. In the end, it is a story of hope—uniquely told in words and illustrations.Praise for Mom&’s CancerWinner of the 2005 Eisner Award, Best Digital Comic for the original Web versionWinner of the Harvey Award, Best New Talent &“The clean, simple comic-strip quality of Fies&’s art fits the story perfectly, highlighting the gravity of the situation while cutting away undue sentimentality. Mom&’s Cancer is a quiet, courageous account of one family's response to a universal situation.&” —Publishers Weekly &“In a suave comic-strip style rather like those of Gary Trudeau…and Berkeley Breathed . . . Fies traces the events of his mother&’s illness primarily from the perspective of her three children, including &“nurse sis&” and &“kid sis&” (adult but the youngest) as well as himself. . . . Depicting a family dependably if warily dealing, not without anger and feelings of inadequacy, with each crisis and change that cancer brings, Fies&’ book may be one of the most well-balanced contributions to the literature of coping with cancer.&” —Booklist

Mom, I Need to Be a Girl
by Evelyn Lindenmuth"Just Evelyn" is the mother of three teen sons. She always thought Daniel would be gay based on effeminate behaviors and interests. When he comes to tell her something important at age 15, she thinks he is going to tell her that and she's been prepared. Instead, he tells her he is actually a girl, and needs to physically become one completely. He is transsexual. The short book is their story of Daniel becoming Danielle, with her mother's full support. She starts hormones and is able to get sexual reassignment surgery while still in high school. There are line drawings described in brackets, with the scanned captions. There is also a page of photos with bracketed descriptions showing the transition from Daniel, ages 8 and 14 to Danielle, ages 15 and 19. The mother, "Just Evelyn" writes the story of this time of their lives. Her mother types it out. Unfortunately, the book was never copyedited and there are constant errors in typing, in punctuation spacings and usage, in spelling errors that will come through a screen reader differently. An example is instead of the word "college," it is spelled "collage." The book itself is of very poor print quality, but the scan is exact, with all of the errors left intact. However, the content is still identifiable.

Momentary Buddhahood
by Tulku Thondup Rinpoche Anyen Rinpoche Allison Choying ZangmoWe think of enlightenment as something that happens all at once, like a tidal wave that cleans away everything impure. In truth, however, realization happens incrementally, from moment to moment. And in any moment when true wisdom is recognized, all concepts and afflictions are freed right on the spot and we can affirm for ourselves that the experience of enlightenment is possible. When we do, we experience a moment of the mind of a buddha - "momentary buddhahood." In this tantalizing presentation, Anyen Rinpoche offers a vision of the crucial necessity of mindfulness in any exploration of the Buddha's path - especially the path of tantric practice.
