We all want to share the family stories we have learned. Bringing research reports to family gatherings prompts yawns; writing a full-length book feels overwhelming. A book for young readers is in the "Goldilocks' Zone" between those two extremes. This kind of book is a non-intimidating way to both write and share a story. The process is simple. Choose the focus of the book. It can be the story of an immigrant family, or one ancestor's military service, or any other significant person or time period in your family's history. Collect the events, dates and places captured from your research effort. Then, construct a timeline. Then weave that timeline with the context of historical events and contemporary images into the fabric of an illustrated narrative. This process can help uncover holes in your research, and be expanded to the full-length book you have been wanting to write.The book discusses an example book about the military service of a WWI Pioneer Infantryman in "Marching and Mules" that was created using this process.
White Like Her: My Family’s Story of Race and Racial Passing is the story of Gail Lukasik’s mother’s “passing,” Gail’s struggle with the shame of her mother’s choice, and her subsequent journey of self-discovery and redemption. In the historical context of the Jim Crow South, Gail explores her mother’s decision to pass, how she hid her secret even from her own husband, and the price she paid for choosing whiteness. Haunted by her mother’s fear and shame, Gail embarks on a quest to uncover her mother’s racial lineage, tracing her family back to eighteenth-century colonial Louisiana. In coming to terms with her decision to publicly out her mother, Gail changed how she looks at race and heritage. With a foreword written by Kenyatta Berry, host of PBS's Genealogy Roadshow, this unique and fascinating story of coming to terms with oneself breaks down barriers.

By the first day of kindergarten, Olga Trujillo had already survived years of abuse and violent rape at the hands of her tyrannical father. Over the next ten years, she would develop the ability to numb herself to the constant abuse by splitting into distinct mental “parts.” Dissociative identity disorder (DID) had begun to take hold, protecting Olga’s mind from the tragic realities of her childhood. In The Sum of My Parts, Olga reveals her life story for the first time, chronicling her heroic journey from survivor to advocate and her remarkable recovery from DID. Formerly known as multiple personality disorder, DID is defined by the presence of two or more identities. In this riveting story, Olga struggles to unearth memories from her childhood, and parallel identities—Olga at five years old, Olga at thirteen—come forth and demand to be healed. This brave, unforgettable memoir charts the author’s triumph over the most devastating conditions and will inspire anyone whose life has been affected by trauma.
