And Now I Spill the Family Secrets: An Illustrated Memoir

I applaud Margaret Kimball for pouring her soul into this beautiful and heartbreaking book. Character driven graphic memoir by daughter of a mother with bi-polar disorder while raising children, a marriage and then a divorce etc. About family dysfunction and what tears the family apart and brings them together. How all the kids suffered and the ramifications of the lives they were forced to endure. Brought up difficult issues for me.

The art in this book is stunning and so is Kimball's ability to reflect on her family's story. She's so honest and raw and open about her experiences with her family. I'm struck by her sections about Ted and how she talks about him and talks about how she works to understand him.
