DANCING AT THE PITY PARTY by Tyler Feder

DANCING AT THE PITY PARTY: A Dead Mom Graphic Memoir by Tyler Feder details a mother/daughter relationship after the mother's diagnosis and death from cancer. Ten years after her mother's passing, Tyler Feder has created this inspiring graphic memoir that chronicles the emotions of loss.

Tyler's mother received a stage four cancer diagnosis at the end of Tyler's first year in college. Their relationship had always been a close one, and Tyler considered her mother a best friend. She fondly recalls her mother's unique personality and individual quirks remembered from childhood. The strength and guidance her mother provided are what helped Tyler manage as she watched her mother struggle through treatments and ultimately fade away.
