Atmosphere Press is thrilled to announce the release of "The Significance of Curly Hair: A Loving Memoir of Life and Loss" by Kara Zajac, a poignant and deeply moving memoir exploring the bond between a granddaughter and her grandmother.
In this heartfelt memoir, Kara Zajac takes readers on a transformative journey through the life and legacy of her grandmother, fondly known as Gram. From their close-knit relationship during her childhood to the devastating phone call that forever changed her life, Kara shares the powerful story of love, loss, and the impact of family ties.

"Growing up, Gram was my best friend," Kara writes. "We shared a double bed in my family's cottage until I was nine. Fifteen years later, I got the call that she'd fallen and hit her head. All I could see was her mouthing, 'Don't you love me enough to come back home?' I wept on the plane as I began to write her story, the one she'd asked me to write in ninth grade."

The memoir begins with the tragic loss of Gram and unfolds into a beautiful narrative filled with memories, discoveries, and reflections. Through old relics and a time capsule hidden away in Gram's drawer, Kara unearths clues to her grandmother's past, including her 1957 breakdown. This discovery becomes the key to understanding the challenges Gram faced and the strength she displayed throughout her life.

"The Significance of Curly Hair" is a celebration of life and the lessons passed down through generations. Kara, a successful, independent woman, grapples with her own identity as she reflects on her grandmother's life. In doing so, she finds a new appreciation for the role of family, love, and the importance of balancing career and motherhood.

Early reviewers have praised "The Significance of Curly Hair" for its emotional depth and relatability, with Mimi Schroeder of APR Max Communications noting that "the emotional action just sort of sweeps you along" and Emily-Jane Hills Orford of Readers' Favorite describes it as "a story of love and bonding like no other." Tomi Alo of Independent Book Review calls it "a heartwarming and enlightening memoir" that "beautifully captures the myriad emotions we go through after the death of a loved one," urging readers to cherish their time with loved ones.

"The Significance of Curly Hair" is a must-read for anyone who has experienced the love and loss of a cherished family member.

As she delves into the past, searching through relics of a life lived with resilience and grace, she uncovers hidden stories, dark secrets, and the incredible strength of a woman who faced unimaginable hardships without ever losing her capacity to love. Through the pain of loss, she discovers a new understanding of what it means to be a woman, a mother, and a bearer of legacies.
