If you find yourself talking to writer Jayne Dandy, keep the conversation on comic books and Star Wars - best not to mention men, dating, or S-E-X. Her crippling fear of intimacy has made relationships a big no-no, but hiding behind her laptop isn’t going to get her lightsaber lit. When her therapist recommends that she write erotica as a form of exposure therapy, Jayne is hesitant. But when she is unexpectedly downsized at work, she adopts a pseudonym and secretly publishes her sexy stories to make ends meet.

Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

They had all been young, beautiful, and living the best days of their lives, though they didn't know it. That was before New York City began to feel like a war zone, its horrors somehow invisible, and ignored by the rest of the world. Some people might insist that Francesco is in a better place now, but Kevin definitely isn't.

Resumen del Editor
"That Which Makes Us Stronger is a beautifully written story, told with the nostalgic sensibility of a modern-day Jean Shepherd, combined with the gentle sardonic wit of David Sedaris. Greg Triggs made me alternately laugh and cry with this very personal novel. Part memoir, part fiction, completely heartwarming.” (Gary Adler, Broadway conductor, composer/lyricist of Altar Boyz)
"That Which Makes Us Stronger is a colorful and brutally honest account of growing up gay in an alcoholic Midwestern household. Greg Triggs’ memories are all at once wholesome as apples and sharp as razor blades—peppered with bitter truths about the families we’re born into and the ones we choose for ourselves. Overflowing with sardonic wit, Triggs’ story is heartfelt, haunting and ultimately hopeful. (Bizzy Coy, writer The New Yorker, McSweeney's, Vulture
"'That Which Makes Us Stronger' is a touching, page-turning triumph with lots of belly-laughs. Greg writes as if he’s sitting next to you, whispering in your ear, with a twinkle in his eye that suggests the unexpected. In that way, That Which Makes Us Stronger is the stuff of life.” (Tom Dyer, founding editor, Watermark Newspaper
“Triggs paints a portrait of a Midwestern family that is hilarious, tender, and gimlet-eyed. I was instantly transported to his evocative emotional and physical landscape. This is a unique family whose engaging story could be a version of anyone's. A wonderful read indeed.” (Mary Jo Pehl, Mystery Science Theater 3000 and author, Dumb Dumb Dumb: My Mother's Book Reviews)

Finding the answers takes Julian back in time to Eisenhower's immigration border raids, an epistolary love affair during the Vietnam War, crumbling marriages, queer migrations to Cambridge and New York, up to the disorienting polarization of Obama's second term.

Historia
By the time Wendy Lawless turned 17, she'd known for quite some time that she didn't have a normal mother. But that didn't stop her from wanting one.... Georgann Rea didn't bake cookies or go to PTA meetings; she wore a mink coat and always had a lit Dunhill plugged into her cigarette holder. She went through men like Kleenex, and didn't like dogs or children. Georgann had the ice queen beauty of a Hitchcock heroine and the cold heart to match.

Historia
Mishna Wolff grew up in a poor black neighborhood with her single father, a white man who truly believed he was black. "He strutted around with a short perm, a Cosby-esque sweater, gold chains and a Kangol---telling jokes like Redd Fox, and giving advice like Jesse Jackson. You couldn't tell my father he was white. Believe me, I tried," writes Wolff. And so from early childhood on, her father began his crusade to make his white daughter down.

Extraodinary Story Told by a Master Storyteller
I was absolutely blown away by how exceptional "That Which Makes Us Stronger" was and was deeply moved. One of the finest books I've read in a long time, it moved me to tears and laughter at the same time. Greg Triggs is a master story teller, both in print and as a narrator. I highly recommend it.

Even more enjoyable than my first read on paperback
When That Which Makes Us Stronger was first published by Red Hawk, I thoroughly enjoyed this often funny, somewhat autobiographical novel by Greg Triggs. The setting, mostly in Madison, Wisconsin during the last 30 years of the 20th century, was so relatable to me.
The story centers around Warn Barnes, and his large, blended family. Warn is a smart, creative thoughtful kid. He is also gay, and as he grows towards and into adulthood, this part of his identity is more fully explored.
I enjoyed the author’s sense of humor, his story and narrative style. When I first read the book on paperback, I remember thinking, “The only thing that would make this better, would be hearing the author read it.” Thank you, Greg, Red Hawk, and Audible for making my wish come true.

Fantastic!! It’s a must read/listen.
I couldn’t wait to listen to Greg narrating his book everyday on my commute to and from work. I often wished traffic were worse so I could listen longer! The book is relatable on so many levels as I grew up in the Midwest. But I’m sure all who read/listen to this book would be hooked after the first page. I didn’t want the story to end. Highly recommend!
