Forward

A life-affirming graphic novel about two women - one a widow, the other recovering from a horrible breakup - neither of whom knows a way to move forward.

Still smarting years after a horrible breakup, Rayanne diligently buries herself in her work. Aside from  work, she has her cat. And other than her cat, she has her crushes: crushes  that she prides herself on being able to resist. Then unexpectedly, one of her crushes beings to affect her more than the others, and threatens to upset the delicate balance of her carefully controlled life.

Ali is still feeling lost and numb almost a year after the death of her wife. Then one ordinary day something  extraordinary happens: she is ambushed by her attraction to another woman that  is both invigorating and fantastically inappropriate. Whether she’s ready for  it or not, it stirs up feelings Ali didn’t think she was capable of having  anymore.

Funny, moving, and full of heart,  Forward is a novel that explores the parameters  of second chances and the tricky emotions of grief, fear, vulnerability, and  desire.
