Separation & divorce

""In Pink House, Blue House, Leah Nagely traces the currents of her life through a series of homes - pink and blue, past and present, sacred and secular. Growing up amid the early waves of divorce in 1970s America, she navigates shifting familial landscapes, church pews, and rotary-dial phone calls that stretch across state lines. From childhood negotiations of love and belonging to the relentless pursuit of something vast enough to hold it all, her story unfolds in the spaces between nostalgia and reckoning. With poetic clarity and raw vulnerability, Nagely explores the ways we try to contain love, the inevitable floods and droughts, and the ultimate surrender to its wild, uncontainable flow."" - Jenny Forrester, editor of Mountain Bluebird Magazine and author of Love: The Art of Cherishing the World

Reviews for Pink House, Blue House: Tales of a Gen X Chameleon

""Pink House, Blue House is both time capsule and telescope, examining how the spaces we inhabit as children continue to orbit through our lives. This Gen X coming-of-age story reads like a mixtape of memories - each chapter its own perfectly crafted track. Nagely transforms the specifics of her divided childhood into a universal exploration of belonging, adaptation, and the invisible forces that keep families connected across any distance."" Ariel Gore, bestselling author of We Were Witches, The End of Eve, Atlas of the Human Heart, and most recently, Rehearsals for Dying ""Pink House, Blue House reveals a duality of formative memories. The stories are equal parts restriction and liberation, curling around each other, shaping the future of a curious and hopeful young person with music in her ears. This book is like your favorite mixtape of life songs to play over and over."" - Christa Orth, author of Don't Stop Me Now and the forthcoming memoir Queer Famous
