She winds up with love. Her memoir is an inspiration. --Abigail Thomas author of What Comes Next and How to Like It: A Memoir and A Three Dog Life Love the sinner, hate the sin: thus, unfurls Cohan's memoir. Fractional love and uncomfortable rage toward her father blend with her longing for his abusive behavior to disappear and leave only the often extraordinary father. Cohan's crystalline honest prose brings the reader inside the dilemma of caring for an aging parent who brought her torment laced with love and magic--what is it like to adore, fear, and protect yourself from the father you feared and cherished? --Randy Susan Meyers author of The Murderer's Daughters and Waisted Are we doing enough to protect children from predators? by Gracie Bonds Staples https: //www.ajc.com/lifestyles/are-doing-enough-protect-children-from-predators/yOPwPpYM1VLO0dnWpGwFML/--Atlanta Journal-Constitution How to Remodel Your Home With Your Significant Other--Without Arguing Even Once, by Kelsey Mulvey https: //www.realsimple.com/home-organizing/home-improvement/renovations/home-remodeling-couple--Real Simple An Open Letter to College Students about the Heartbeat Bill: Notes from a College Professor on Abortion by Deborah J. Cohan, Ph.D. https: //medium.com/@debjcoh/an-open-letter-to-college-students-about-the-heartbeat-bill-notes-from-a-college-professor-on-63effdcabdb6--Medium How to Support an Employee Coming Out at Work, by Skye Schooley https: //www.businessnewsdaily.com/15141-employee-coming-out.html--Business News Daily Deborah Cohan has written a brave and beautiful memoir....not 'beautiful' in the sense of pretty or lovely or sugarcoated in any way. Beautifully written, yes, but also beautiful in its raw, graphic honesty--that is, in the sense that truth is beauty. There is much hard-won wisdom in these pages--wisdom gleaned from Cohan's years of caregiving for an abusive parent--and it will benefit those who find themselves navigating that rocky terrain. But this is also a story about life and death, love and loss, and the complicated nature of family and relationship. Which makes Welcome to Wherever We Are a universal story, one with wisdom for us all. --Abby Seixas author of Finding the Deep River Within Welcome to Wherever We Are is a memoir of a difficult family, a relationship between a father and a daughter. It involves abuse, dislike, love and a great deal of caring. It is a memoir, but one guided by the sociological lens of writer Deborah Cohan. She offers us a personal story set in the context of complicated family relationships in contemporary American society. --Barbara J. Risman co-editor of Families as They Really Are Cohan's beautifully-nuanced book is an important addition to a distinctly American strain of memoir that seeks to fully explore family dynamics with all of its complications, glories, travails, and facing of mortality. This is a slice of life that is both wide and deep. --Sue William Silverman author of Because I Remember Terror, Father, I Remember You With scrupulous honesty, and what Deborah so beautifully calls tender curiosity, this is a journey toward reconciliation with the ambivalence she felt towards an emotionally abusive father.
