This was my first graphic memoir and I really enjoyed it. The art was nice and the colors fit the story being told. I learned things I didn’t know about Vietnam and the Indochina Wars. This was an eye-opening look at lives that have been shaped by war. Very interesting and informative read. I would highly recommend.

I think this is a really good book on the challenges of family and motherhood, and a really interesting look at a family escaping Vietnam during the war. The art is beautiful and haunting. But I definitely should've read the content warnings on this one lol. While I appreciate that pregnancy and childbirth and motherhood isn't like glorified in this, I also could've done without the 30 pages of graphic pregnancy at the beginning.
