Good Riddance: An Illustrated Memoir of Divorce
by Cynthia Copeland
On This Page
Description
"When you think you live in a Norman Rockwell painting--married 18 years, three kids, beautiful old house in the country, successful career as a writer--you don't expect there's another side to the canvas. Until you read a lovesick e-mail to your husband . . . that didn't come from you! Good Riddance is an honest and funny graphic memoir about suffering through and surviving divorce. Cynthia Copeland chronicles the deep pain, confusion, awkwardness, and breakthroughs she experiences in the show more "new normal" as a wife who's been deceived, a mom who's now single, a divorcee who's dating, and a woman who's on her own figuring out what she truly wants from her life. Copeland tells her story with an emotional candor and spot-on humor that makes Good Riddance poignant, painful, and hilarious all at once." show lessTags

Touching, heartbreaking, and healing. Ms. Copeland reveals her personal pain and struggle through her divorce in this graphic memoir. Even though I got divorced for very different reasons, I felt what she was going through. A quick read, but not necessarily an easy one. I highly recommend for anyone who has ever felt any heartbreak. Just awesome.
I sure do love illustrated memoirs. This is a great example of one. I thought it was wonderful.
