Description
Jeremy Knowles is a 17-year-old outcast who dreams of being a great artist. But when he suffers a severe mental breakdown brought on by bullying and other pressures at school, his future is called into question — as is his very existence! Can he survive the experience through the healing power of art? And just what does it mean to be "crazy," anyway?
About the author
Elaine M. Will has helped increase the profile of self-published Saskatchewan comic artists and graphic novel authors with her work on the Xeric Award-winning mental health drama and graphic novel, Look Straight Ahead. Her second book, Dust Ship Glory, reveals this quirky tale of one man's obsessions during the 1930s in Saskatchewan.
