Impossible Things Now Available
A Memoir of Memory, Silence, and the Search for Self
Parker Publishers is proud to announce the release of Impossible Things by L. Renae Spann, a deeply personal memoir that speaks in quiet yet powerful tones.
Unlike stories built on spectacle, Impossible Things unfolds in moments of stillness. Spann invites readers to sit with her as she revisits the silences, strained expectations, and hidden truths that shaped her life. The book journeys through childhood in Plainfield, New Jersey, while reaching into universal questions of memory, family, and belonging.
At its heart lies the complex relationship between mother and daughter. Spann’s portrayal of her mother, Helena, is marked by tension and emotional distance, while her father, Harmon, is remembered for his quiet gestures of recognition and protection. These threads form a memoir that does not rush to resolve, but instead allows space for reflection and honesty.
The themes extend beyond family into faith, racial identity, and the weight of unspoken rules. Readers have already connected with the book’s refusal to simplify, its willingness to let unanswered questions remain, and its raw emotional truth.
“Impossible Things is not about finding every answer,” says Spann. “It is about showing what it looks like to keep asking.”
Now available in print and digital editions, Impossible Things can be purchased on Amazon and through major retailers.

Born and raised in Plainfield, New Jersey, she draws on her lived experience to write with an honesty that is both unsettling and deeply comforting. Spann is driven by the belief that healing begins with telling the truth, and that our stories—no matter how heavy—can become sources of light for others.
