Book description
An emotional and heartbreaking memoir of the author's lifelong struggle with his mother's death from cancer.Grief never goes away.When he was a teenager, Jesse Mechanic's mother passed away after a long struggle with cancer. In this memoir, he looks back on that time, and on the ways that experience followed him throughout his life. Struggling with school while dealing with attentional problems and the overwhelming tsunami of grief, this book tells the story of Mechanic's slow work to figure out a life for himself. It's about obsessive-compulsive disorder, intrusive thoughts, and depression--straight-A's turning to straight F's, and smiles to blank stares. It's about what loss can teach us, and how trauma can be both debilitating and beautiful. It's about standing in dark rooms for long enough for your eyes to adjust.And graffiti. It's about that too.With powerful visuals and thoughtful, poignant text, this graphic memoir challenges readers to keep going in the face of the hardest times.
