Dancing at the Pity Party: A Dead Mom Graphic Memoir

This graphic memoir recounts Feder’s grief after her mother dies while Feder is a nineteen-year-old college freshman. It moves from her mother’s first oncology appointment through cancer, the funeral, sitting shiva, and the period afterward. Feder tries to make sense of life without her mother. Colorful, hand-lettered illustrations accompany this account of illness, mourning, and a motherless life.
