GM Review: Review by Ian Williams
Annotation: Stitches follows the experiences of the creator, David Small, when his asthma was treated using radiation before the side effects of radiation were known. Small waited until after his parents were deceased to publish the memoir, because it is a raw look at the choices they made, how they acted, and how it affected him. Stitches has many poignant illustrations of emotions and perspectives.
