The background behind this story is so incredibly heartbreaking. I cannot imagine the absolute hell that Tom Hart and his wife have been through following the loss of their daughter, Rosalie. There were moments in this graphic novel that tore me apart. The emotional journey is just blow after blow and a constant pressure of sadness. The recognizing the struggle of letting go, the moments of thinking it must be a dream, the guilt that comes with not knowing why and the wondering of if they did enough during her short little life to let her know how much she was loved. Just imagining myself in their place hit me so incredibly hard.

However, I did struggle with a few things. Though they definitely express the darkness and the lost feeling from losing their child, the dark scribbling of some of the artwork and the disjointed nature of the story made it harder to follow and harder to feel...welcome...to the story. There was a level of discomfort just as a reader that somehow made it feel that my experience with it was an intrusion. It felt as if the story and I were at odds the entire way and the plot wasn't willingly unfolding. It was an odd experience and one that just didn't sit right for me.
