"A wonderful book about figuring out who we are and who we want to
be when we grow up. It's also about being an American--especially a
first-generation American." --Roz Chast This graphic-novel debut
from an acclaimed picture book creator is a powerfully moving
memoir of the author's experiences with family, religion, and
coming of age in the aftermath of World War II, and the childhood
struggles and family secrets that shaped her. It's 1950s New York,
and Marisabina Russo is being raised Catholic and attending a
Catholic school that she loves--but when she finds out that she's
Jewish by blood, and that her family members are Jewish survivors
of the Holocaust, her childhood is thrown into turmoil. To make
matters more complicated, her father is out of the picture, her
mother is ambitious and demanding, and her older half-brothers have
troubles, too. Following the author's young life into the
tumultuous, liberating 1960s, this heartfelt, unexpectedly
humorous, and meticulously illustrated graphic-novel memoir
explores the childhood burdens of memory and guilt, and
Marisabina's struggle and success in forming an identity entirely
her own.
