ISBN: 9780956559944.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA moving, surprisingly funny, and inspiring graphic memoir by a woman who lost her two-year-old son after heart surgery, Billy, Me \u0026amp; You is a bracing and memorable account of recovery after bereavement. Nicola Streeten’s little boy, Billy, was two years old when he died following heart surgery for problems diagnosed only a few days earlier. Ten years later, Streeten revisited her diaries and notebooks made at the time: this wonderfully vibrant narrative recounts how she and her partner recovered. Gut-wrenchingly sad at times, her graphic memoir is an unforgettable portrayal of trauma and our reaction to it – and, especially, the humour or absurdity so often involved in our responses. As Streeten’s story unfolds and we follow her and her partner’s heroic efforts to cope with well-meaning friends and day-to-day realities, we begin to understand what she means by her aim to create a ‘dead baby story that is funny’. Streeten is the first British woman to have published a graphic memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Myriad Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44967633911861,"sku":"ByrdShop_0956559948","price":90.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780956559944_2a1fb078-43a9-49f8-8535-20f5a0fa4524.jpg?v=1778681841","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/billy-me-you-a-memoir-of-grief-and-recovery-9780956559944","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
