Visitations by Corey Egbert

emotional hopeful tense fast-paced

5.0

Wow, this graphic memoir from Corey Egbert about how his mom was a very devote Mormon with (later diagnosed) schizophrenia and after divorcing his dad and accusing the dad of molesting Corey’s sister, she skips a visitation and kidnapped her children and hid for a month in the desert in Nevada trying to “save” them from Corey’s father. This has got some fantastical elements but it’s a really incredible story of not only dealing with all of that, but how the author came to hold his own faith and beliefs separate from his mom’s delusions and harmful rhetoric. The artwork and panels are simple, with a blue and pinkish orange color palette that I liked the look of a lot. This book felt like if Hey Kiddo and Flamer had a brother.
