“Terry, known for his outstanding superhero illustrations, turns the lens inward in this brutally honest memoir. . . . An exceptionally well-told story with no easy answers but an ending that will inspire.” —Starred Review, Booklist.

“Illuminated by bursts of both joy and sorrow. With humbling sensitivity and candor, Jim shares with us his personal journey down emotionally complex paths towards home.” —TIMOTHY TRUMAN, author of Marvel Comics’ Conan series

“The kind of personal work that can only be done in the form of comics, intimately revealing the black and white lines of a worldview shaped by a life. As raw, honest and human as the cartoonist who created it.” —TIM SEELEY, author of Hack/Slash, Revival, and Batman Eternal

“Both uplifting and gut-wrenching, beautiful and terrifying. Terry’s account of losing himself between worlds, and finding home in the balance between them, deserves a place among the all-time great graphic memoirs.” —EZRA CLAYTAN DANIELS, author of Upgrade Soul, and BTTM FDRS

“Jim’s bravery in putting his most vulnerable moments on paper is very, very powerful. He’s really knocked it out of the park artistically. It is visually stunning.” —**JILL THOMPSON, author of the Scary Godmother series, and Wonder Woman: The True Amazon
**
“An epic memoir. Terry has a way with words — his pithy writing skillfully mixes nostalgia and melancholy. But it his gorgeous, inventive, black-and-white artwork that makes this book so memorable.”— **JOSH NEUFELD, author of A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge
**
"Jim Terry lays it bare on the page. The emotional honesty of Terry’s drawings and his darkly comedic and intimate writing will break your heart and ignite your spirit." —DEVERY JACOBS, actress and filmmaker
