Visitations is a graphic novel based of Corey Egbert’s childhood. It deals with difficult topics such as divorce, faith and questioning religion — specifically the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and mental illness. Egbert is vulnerable in sharing the stories he experienced when he was younger and navigates a complex situations and events. I think this novel though maybe not a comfortable read for some people, is an important voice about family dynamics that don’t always look like the perfect Latter Day Saint picture.
