A Graphic Memoir

Feeding Ghosts

Claudine

We survive trauma by denying it has happened, and neither my mother nor her mother was able to see the ghosts that swarmed them. But they stood out clearly for me.

Nate

It’s amazing, isn’t it? the power of this unknown white face. 

It granted my mom the education—most importantly the English—that gave her everything.

He tore through the lives of my mother and my grandmother and then crashed into mine.

Pain in how it makes me feel I have no right to my own story.

That I am stealing something when I use my own Chinese name.
