Randa Jo Downs ’01 (Creative Writing, Seattle) has released her powerful memoir, Comfort, Texas. This deeply moving book delves into the complex dynamics of her family, exploring why her father caused harm and why her mother failed to protect her.
More than a story of survival, Comfort, Texas is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of storytelling. Through vivid prose, Downs reclaims her childhood and emerges as a fierce lesbian feminist, theater artist, and child welfare advocate. Her essays and stories offer profound insights that will resonate with fellow survivors and those who support them.
