Lighter Than My Shadow
Author: Katie Green
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1407086189
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 517
Book Description
A poignant, heart-lifting graphic memoir about anorexia, eating disorders and the journey to recovery Like most kids, Katie was a picky eater. She’d sit at the table in silent protest, hide uneaten toast in her bedroom, listen to parental threats that she’d have to eat it for breakfast. But in any life a set of circumstance can collide, and normal behaviour might soon shade into something sinister, something deadly. Lighter Than My Shadow is a hand-drawn story of struggle and recovery, a trip into the black heart of a taboo illness, an exposure of those who are so weak as to prey on the vulnerable, and an inspiration to anybody who believes in the human power to endure towards happiness. ‘Even at its most heartbreaking it never feels sombre ... Inspiring, plucky and, in the end, consoling, it’s hard to put down’ Observer

Pages : 570
Book Description
“... a stout entry in an underserved subgenre, .... Fine’s prose is vivid, .... And even longtime crime readers should be aware that the content is ... graphic, from blunt discussions of child abuse.... Still, memorable set pieces like an airport shootout and the final fight between Eitan and Solomon stand out. Moreover, Fine’s spiritual patina and good intentions lend this dark story: a silver lining readers will appreciate.” – Blue Ink “Yehuda Fine has been a mentor/friend for almost twenty years. The Shadow Walker is a gripping harrowing piece of fiction. It is an artful portrayal of Yehuda’s work and a rare entrée into a world that is little known and seldom spoken for.” – Alex Winter Filmmaker & Actor Deep Web, Downloaded, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, The Lost Boys The Shadow Walker: a spiritually charged thriller that illuminates how Eitan, a Chassidic Rabbi, battles a global sex trafficker across the Big Apple to the outskirts of the Magic Kingdom. As this sex trafficker arrives in Manhattan. Reb Eitan heads out to stop him. NYPD finds dismembered girls scattered around the city. The Chief Medical Examiner is taken aback at the unsub’s capacity for such hellacious crimes. They tag him The Dark Man. He slaughters in the deep vale of darkness. His father a former Green Beret beat him and his mother mercilessly. After Vietnam, they moved to the Golden Triangle dealing heroin. The boy escapes the horrific abuse into the jungles. There he encounters a sinister master of the dark martial arts. Eitan discovers that each victim is marked with an ancient yet antinomian hexagram reading of the Confucian I Ching. From these death marks, Rabbi Eitan speculates the killer believes he is a soul taker -- someone who inhales the life force of victims as they take their final breath Meanwhile, in a neighborhood in Orlando, Florida, Jennifer, the mother of identical twin daughters, is shattered when her girls are kidnapped. Eitan and his crew sprint to rescue them. They, at last, collide into the grim Dark Man. “Yehuda Fine grabs you by the throat and never let’s go because he lived the story he tells with such dark clarity. Combine his experience rescuing lost teenagers in Gotham’s netherworld with a rabbinical scholar’s knowledge of Judaism’s deepest mysteries, and you get a must-read blockbuster like The Shadow Walker.” – Chris Mercogliano Teaching the Restless and In Defense of Childhood

Eugene has had a lifelong love of philosophy, which has guided his life since early childhood. He grew up in the desert southwest of Arizona and can remember as a boy when the state had less than a million people in it.

During that service, he qualified as a surface officer and a naval flight officer assigned to various fighter squadrons and embarked on several different aircraft carriers.
