Bea is on the run. And then, she runs into Lou.
This chance encounter sends them on a journey through West Texas, where strange things follow them wherever they go. The landscape morphs into an unsettling world, a mysterious cat joins them, and they are haunted by a group of threatening men. To stay safe, Bea and Lou must trust each other as they are driven to confront buried truths. The two women share their stories of loss and heartbreak-and a startling revelation about sexual assault-culminating in an exquisite example of human connection.
This magical realistic adventure from the celebrated comics creator of Spinning and On a Sunbeam will stay with readers long after the final gorgeously illustrated page.

I enjoyed this book a lot. The story has two sides. On one side we have Bea and Lou and how they meet and bond. On the other side we have the strange events when Diamond, the mystery cat crosses their path. I liked the way both aspects somehow work. I've read a few graphic novels now and I really enjoyed the quality of the illustrations.
