Baker, knitter, animal lover, wife, mother - but most of all, a writer. That's how Eliza Walton sees herself. Until, halfway through her MFA studies, a diagnosis of rectal cancer lands on her head. Fear, shame, and dread threaten to pull her under.How to face an anxiety-laden year of radiation, chemo, and a permanent colostomy?Family, friends, caregivers, even her animals, all help. But Eliza's pen becomes her best weapon. Chronicling each assault on her body with startling honesty, Eliza uses the act of writing to make sense of her powerlessness in the face of this unspeakable illness. When her vitriolic alter-ego appears, she and Eliza navigate the terror, absurdity, and even the humor, of an uncertain future together.Neither superficial nor overly sentimental, The Colors I Saw is a riveting metafictional memoir filled with references to the literature that fueled Eliza's imagination and sustained her. It's the story of her deep shame and loss, accepting an unacceptable reality, and the friends and family who helped her survive. In the messy journey from "You have rectal cancer" to living a full, if somewhat altered, life, this endearing page-turner is not about whether the author survives, but how.

"But I want to stay here. I want to draw pictures of America forever." This moving immigrant story tells how a spunky young artist saved her Jewish family from being deported to Ukraine and certain death in the pogroms of the early 1920s. An independent, feisty girl, Luba drew constantly-after school, in storm shelters where her family hid from the murderous Cossacks, and on the SS Estonia on their way to America. By the time they finally saw the Statue of Liberty, Luba and her family had suffered violence, injuries, illnesses, and a storm at sea. Once they were safely on Ellis Island, things turned bleak again. While the twins were recovering from measles, the immigration quota for Ukrainians was filled. It looked like the family would have to return to Ukraine, where they were hated for their faith. Then a guard saw Luba's drawing of President Woodrow Wilson, and everything changed. Based on the true story of Louise Dunn Yochim, art supervisor for the Chicago Public Schools Historical fiction for those who love reading stories about children whose courage and abilities change their world Explores themes of immigration, perseverance and family values, religious persecution, pogroms, life on Ellis Island, using art to overcome adversity
