Description
Tosh's upbringing feels close to perfect: best friends, mischief and secondary school, just around the next corner. But when chronic illness strikes, it threatens to derail everything she loves. A heart-rending graphic novel of discovery, adversity, and the overwhelming healing powers of imagination and stories.
A visually stunning, heartfelt, touching and empowering graphic novel, inspired by Linda Sargent's own lived experience.
