When Greg Cope White's best friend says he's going to boot camp, Greg hears "summer camp"—and signs up too. Never mind that he's underweight, out of shape, and gay in 1979, when that could end everything. The Pink Marine is sharp, funny, and quietly powerful: a memoir about finding strength in the last place you'd expect, and learning what you're capable of when survival depends on it.

David Sedaris' collection of family stories has perfect timing and unexpected heart in Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim. His voice transforms familiar dysfunction into something warm and funny—essential listening for anyone who appreciates the beautiful chaos of loving difficult people.
