...a mix of quietly poignant and humorous vignettes about returning home and being unsure where you life is heading next.
Product Description
After graduating from college and spending a magical year abroad writing our best-selling A Year in Japan, Kate T. Williamson felt ready for anything. But, like many a post-graduate, she needed some time to figure out just what that anything was. Her parents house in Pennsylvania seemed like the perfect place for a brief layover, but twenty-three-months later, Williamson was still contemplating the past and the future, while explaining to curious neighbors that at present her life was "at a crossroads."
At a Crossroads is a unique graphic memoir about the common, yet little-discussed "boomerang years." With sharp wit and expressive watercolors, Williamson illustrates the joys, disappointments, comforts, and embarrassments of life back home with mom and dad. Highlights and low points include celebrating her twenty-fourth birthday at a Hall & Oates concert with her mother; noticing the train sounds from her bedroom for the first time; battling an infestation of squirrels; discovering that the ballet class she has signed up for is actually for children, and attending anyway; getting mail from her college crush, who has developed an interest in taxidermy; wearing a chain mail belt of her own creation to her cousins Renaissance wedding. Moving from season to season, Williamson uses her delightful illustrations and vivid descriptions to discover the beauty and truth inside every hilarious episode. At a Crossroads is a book for young and old alike, or for anyone contemplating the little things worth noting in the times of our lives we often erase from our histories.
