Description
This lyrical graphic memoir reconstructs Alan Cope’s California childhood during the Great Depression, transforming everyday memories into a vivid portrait of a young life and a changing nation. Through quiet encounters, family moments, friendships, and observations of ordinary people, it captures how personal experience reflects the broader birth of modern America. Shaped by a deep friendship between the subject and the artist, the book is an intimate meditation on memory, history, loss, and the enduring power of storytelling.
