- Summary:
- Marian Henleys beautifully illustrated memoir tells an emotionally resonant story about the wonder and redemption of raising a son after surviving extreme male violence.This poignant graphic memoir describes the most difficult conversation between a mother and her son the one about the two rapes she experienced as a young woman. It's something she always knew she would share with her son, but the process of doing so is harder and more freeing than she could have imagined. This difficult but beautiful story chronicles how she overcame trauma and violence to find love and healing as a mother. Drawing on her decades as a professional cartoonist, Henley's elegant black ink illustrations, trademark humor, and witty writing style shine through even in the darkest moments and tell a story of survivorship, parenting, and hope.
