Book Description
Looking at a family portrait you can only see what the subjects want you to see. For Tim, secrets of sexual abuse, drug use, and the yearning to belong, all hid behind the fake smile and forced poses. After years of projecting himself as a carefree guitar-playing comedian, Tim thought he finally found self-worth in his marriage. But soon the pressures of having an autistic son resurfaced the feelings of worthlessness, and now doubting his role as a father, he broke. As a result he entered counseling and started journaling the hurts of his past. Writing only for himself, he vulnerably and genuinely unfolds his innocence from his first haunting memory to his discovery of forgiveness as the gateway to hope. The Family Portrait will surprisingly make you laugh, inspire hope and dare you to live more authentically.

Jerusalem
Author: Boaz Yakin
Publisher: First Second
ISBN: 1466838655
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
Jerusalem is a sweeping, epic graphic novel that follows a single family—three generations and fifteen very different people—as they are swept up in chaos, war, and nation-making from 1940-1948. Faith, family, and politics are the heady mix that fuel this ambitious, cinematic graphic novel. With Jerusalem, author-filmmaker Boaz Yakin turns his finely-honed storytelling skills to a topic near to his heart: Yakin's family lived in Palestine during this period and was caught up in the turmoil of war just as his characters are. This is a personal work, but it is not a book with a political ax to grind. Rather, this comic seeks to tell the stories of a huge cast of memorable characters as they wrestle with a time when nothing was clear and no path was smooth.
