Description
"A literary and visual feast." — FOREWORD
"This dazzles." — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
It's 1976, and Greer Johnson has found herself pregnant, single, and packed off to Florida. Bunking with total strangers to await and hide the birth of her boss's child, she finds herself unmoored and friendless in the sun-and-fun-obsessed Key West.
While searching for something, anything to give her comfort, Greer does have a few things going for her: She’s surrounded by an unusual parade of singular advisors, neighbors, and allies in a strange new environment, and a wild imagination run amok. But will her flights of fancy be her salvation, or her ultimate undoing?
A beautifully illustrated, nostalgic, and timely graphic novel about fate and making a life from scratch.

My favorite part was absolutely the art. I have never seen art like this before and the earth tones really added to it. Interesting story and I can't wait to dive in and read it again.

In 1976, forty eight years ago, people looked at things differently and were less excepting. Now Greer Johnson is single and pregnant with her married bosses’ child. Desperate to keep her condition a secret, he packs her off to live with his wealthy older friends in Key West, the Benders. Even though living in a tropical paradise, Greer feels isolated, sad, and longs for anything meaningful. The host family is nice enough, although prone to passive aggressive manipulation.
Greer’s only sources of solace are the Benders’ Cuban gardener, Pablo, and a strange but sweet little girl from the 1920s that Greer dreams about.
This graphic novel has amazing illustration and the most expressive faces.
I didn’t want it to end where it did. I want to know more about the future of Greer.
