This was given to me as a gift by a friend, whom I have shared many years with and who said this was perhaps her favorite graphic novel ever. It was amazing and struck so many cords with me. Bring the tissues if you’re going to read it. If you’ve ever tried to reconnect to your roots, if you’ve ever moved away from your family, or struggled on the pathway from teen to adult, I hope this book will strike cords with you, too. It was so good.
