My manuscript and drawings for By the Forces of Gravity, a cartoon/free verse memoir, was under review at the time, so I had just spent several years writing/drawing a story that had broken my heart. When I read Rosalie Lightning, I was astounded by Hart’s generosity in sharing this story with strangers, and by the raw honesty and emotion conveyed in his words and images. I intended to read the whole book through before writing this post, but I’m too excited about sharing it with you!

Yesterday, Hart’s new book, The Art of the Graphic Memoir: Tell Your Story, Change Your Life, arrived at my doorstep. I know the precise day I read the book, January 24, 2016, because I instantly tweeted a picture of the cover and this flash review- “One of the most beautiful and soul-touching books.” Despite being a social media newbie, I wanted everyone to read Rosalie Lightning. I first met Tom Hart on the pages of Rosalie Lightning, the graphic memoir he created after the death of his daughter who was not yet two years old. |
