Ivan and I met in Maine in the eighties. Since then he has become a parent and single parent. Alice is his oldest. At fourteen (5'10", still growing) her goal in life is to become a self-supporting graphic novelist. She goes through many reams of paper every month. Her Papa was told by the principal of her school that there was nothing left in high school for her so she might as well go to college. Well, she's on her way. She's extraordinary, lovable and going places.
Ask her if she's read David Small's "Stitches"... a graphic memoir.
