- Summary:
- "An autobiographical account in graphic novel format that explores the trauma of alopecia through humor and self-reflection"-- Provided by publisher.
- "Even the most imperfect journey can lead to beauty. Tereza never thought she would go bald before her boyfriend did. She couldn't imagine being unable to sweep her hair up in a ponytail or to style it in other ways. But when she lost all her hair in just a couple of months due to alopecia, her perspective on relationships, work-and, above all, herself- radically changed. Navigating the particular trauma of female hair loss, Tereza comes to terms with her new reality with humor and self-reflection in this prize-winning graphic memoir featuring eye-catching art by Štepánka Jislová"-- Provided by publisher.
