a graphic memoir

As a teenager in small-town Maine, my great-grandmother showed me a WWII-era memoir written by her sister Hope. Over the years, I returned to Hope's story for inspiration and guidance, and eventually traveled to the Philippines, where our stories converge. Finding Hope is a nonfiction graphic narrative, featuring a connection with a distant ancestor.

I received a MICE mini-grant at the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo in Boston, MA for Part I in October 2022. This project is still in-progress.
