Dancing at the Pity Party: 9780525553038: Feder, Tyler

This acclaimed graphic memoir that Kirkus calls “cathartic and uplifting” is the tale of losing a parent and what it feels like to grieve and to move forward.“I can’t recommend this kind, funny, and poignant memoir enough.

It’s an intimate, life-affirming story of resilience that feels like a good friend.” —Mari Andrew, author of Am I There Yet?Tyler Feder had just white-knuckled her way through her first year of college when her super cool mom was diagnosed with late-stage cancer.

Now, with a decade of grief and nervous laughter under her belt, Tyler shares the story of that gut-wrenching, heart-pounding, extremely awkward time in her life—from her mom’s first oncology appointment to her funeral through the beginning of facing reality as a motherless daughter.
