Readers will find this indie comics discovery a diamond in the rough.\" - Publishers Weekly Publisher Marketing : The secret to getting better is that it never really happens. In a collection of short comics, a young adult tries going home again, teaches a class at moon school, and muses on their journey while floating in a spaceship above Earth. At each stage of their life, their perspective on their own trauma, mental illness, and healing shifts. While healing may be paradoxical, all you can do is keep trying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022-06-22\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silver Sprocket","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46477611892867,"sku":"9781945509896","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9781945509896.jpg?v=1770296526","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/9781945509896","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
