Hurting and Hoping

I'm not a huge graphic book fan, but on the recommendation of a friend, picked this one up. Author Thien Pham tells, in his bouncy, cartoony way, of his family's journey from Vietnam to the United States, and their trials once they arrive. From the depths of horror to the lofty ingenuity of a family who always finds a way, his pages are packed with layers of nuance. It can be a quick read, or one you read over and over, seeing things in a different way with each view. Very thought-provoking.
