Description
by Tereza Čechová (Author), Stěpánka Jislová (Illustrator), Martha Kuhlman (Translator)
Even the most imperfect journey can lead to beauty.
Tereza never thought she would go bald before her boyfriend did. She couldn't imagine being unable to sweep her hair up in a ponytail or to style it in other ways. But when she lost all her hair in just a couple of months due to alopecia, her perspective on relationships and work--and above all, herself-- radically changed.
Navigating the particular trauma of female hair loss, Tereza comes to terms with her new reality with humor and self-reflection in this prize-winning graphic memoir featuring eye-catching art by Stěpánka Jislová.
