Description

Returning home from a war that left her both physically injured and psychologically shattered, Jun finds herself stranded in a world that barely notices her pain. Cut off, desperate, and drawn toward the dangerous relief of illicit drugs, she must confront the gap between the toughness that kept her alive in combat and the vulnerability she can no longer outrun. Through the steady support of fellow veterans, the unexpected compassion of a stranger, and the companionship of a dog named Red, Jun begins the difficult work of learning how to live with trauma rather than be consumed by it. This adult graphic novel, by Guillaume Singelin, blends raw realism with intimate character focus to explore PTSD, addiction, isolation, and the fragile—yet powerful—possibility of recovery.
