In this thought-provoking episode of Storycomic Presents, host Barney Smith from storycomic.com proudly features C.O. Moed, the nationally acclaimed author of ‘It Was Her New York’. Join us as we dive into the heart of New York City through Moed's eyes, exploring true stories and accidental snapshots that span undying love, the challenges of dementia, and the vibrancy of old lesbians, mothers & daughters against the backdrop of a rapidly changing city.

‘It Was Her New York’ emerges as a poignant memoir filled with personal essays and captivating full-color photographs, detailing Moed's experiences caring for her mother, Florence—a broke, Juilliard-trained pianist navigating the complexities of dementia in the Lower East Side. This collection not only paints a vivid picture of familial bonds and the aging process but also delves into the gentrification of neighborhoods and the rediscovery of suppressed love and hidden sexuality.

For anyone who's ever witnessed the aging of a loved one, felt the sting of their neighborhood transforming, or stumbled upon love in the most unexpected places, this memoir offers a resonant narrative. Discover more about C.O. Moed and her remarkable journey at https://www.comoed.net/.
