1st printing. Story and art by Catherine Doherty. Nominated for an Eisner Award the first time out of the gate, Cathernine Doherty is one to watch! Her first book is a powerful work of autobiography told in comics form as Catherine Margaret Flaherty searches for the truth about her own life. While looking through her parents' dresser drawer, she discovers her own adoption papers. Now, as an adult, she finally begins the search for her birth mother. Drawn with simple lines and two-color inking process, Doherty mixes careful juxtapositions of her past and present, visual echoes of earlier times in her own life and imaginings she has as her mother as a young woman. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 128 pages, PC. Cover price $14.95.
