{"product_id":"dear-mini-a-graphic-memoir-book-one","title":"Dear Mini: A Graphic Memoir, Book One","description":"Used hardcover in Very Good condition. This debut graphic memoir (the first of two books, with Book Two coming in 2025) is a bittersweet coming of age story that chronicles the author's teenage experiences with sexual assault, PTSD, and resiliency. Dear Mini is not a cautionary tale; rather, it is a vivid (at turns hilariously and uncomfortably so) depiction of adolescent agency in the face of trauma, tracing Norris's journey from wayward wild-child to resilient adult who has harnessed her voice after almost a decade of silence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Told in the form of an illustrated letter to an old friend, Dear Mini recounts the author's experience going abroad to attend a language immersion program in France after her sophomore year of high school. She meets Mini, an Austrian student who shares her predilection for illicit adventure, and the two quickly form a bond that they expect to last well after they go their separate ways. But when Natalie visits Mini ten months after their last face-to-face, something has changed. Their nocturnal exploits veer head-on into disaster. Norris's spirited and free-flowing page designs and full color cartooning bring her frank voice and personality to life, making Dear Mini one of the most compelling graphic memoir debuts of 2023.\u003cp\u003eISBN: 1683967798\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 1683967798\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Norris, Natalie","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":53939926335771,"sku":"mon0000800924","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/4004\/3291\/files\/15381253482787.jpg?v=1789348109","url":"https:\/\/bookalley.com\/products\/dear-mini-a-graphic-memoir-book-one","provider":"Book Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
