"a tour de force of comics" (Ed Park, The New York Times)
One of the Top Ten Graphic Novels of 2020, as chosen by the American Library Association
One of the Best Books of 2020, as chosen by Publishers Weekly "Fortunately for readers of this raw and intimate graphic memoir, Terry never fully lets go of his youthful vulnerability. . . . Reckoning with sobriety requires connection and humility, as Terry makes the case for with sincerity and beauty, as he ties his recovery to his spiritual homecoming." --Starred Review, Publishers Weekly A brutally honest but charming look at the pain of childhood and the alienation and anxiety of early adulthood. In his memoir, we are invited to walk through the life of the author, Jim Terry, as he struggles to find security and comfort in an often hostile environment. Between the Ho-Chunk community of his Native American family in Wisconsin and his schoolmates in the Chicago suburbs, he tries in vain to fit in and eventually turns to alcohol to provide an escape from increasing loneliness and alienation. Terry also shares with the reader in exquisite detail the process by which he finds hope and gets sober, as well as the powerful experience of finding something to believe in and to belong to at the Dakota Access Pipeline resistance at Standing Rock.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Street Noise BooksISBN-13:9781951491048ISBN-10:1951491041UPC:9781951491048Book Category:Comics & Graphic Novels, Family & Relationships, PsychologyBook Subcategory:Nonfiction, Bullying, PsychopathologyBook Topic:Biography & Memoir, AddictionSize:8.90 x 5.90 x 0.70 inchesWeight:0.95Product ID:SC2X7PXA89
