Summary:

"A heartfelt, comedic coming-of-age debut from a bright new talent. When we meet Eagle Valiant Brosi, he is a long-haired commune kid, bullied by other kids, teachers, and his neighbors. And because of his speech impediment, Eagle observes silently and often. Mom--a classic earthy, free spirit prone to discursive lectures on natural medicine and the efficacy of certain plants--is the only one who really cares. So Eagle lets others talk and talk and talk, revealing their true natures and selfish (sometimes even selfless) motivations. In Black Cohosh, Eagle pieces together the puzzling and hurtful things he has been told as he takes his first, tragic steps into adulthood. While things may seem grim, Brosi's drawings are loose and limber, stretching and falling across each page. His cast of hippie archetypes come with iconic thatches of hair, bushy beards, and scrawny, gesticulating arms. Black Cohosh is a captivating debut from a natural storyteller with the expert timing of a veteran comedian and the soothing empathy of a death doula."--Publisher.
