After much anticipation, I finally arrived home from vacation and sat down to excitedly open the box waiting for me.

What I found inside was a beautifully drawn graphic novel, "All Alone" by Christophe Chabouté. This is my first such book and, although I haven't had the time to savor the complete story yet, so far I am loving it. It's like turning off all the noise of the world and letting your own mind tell you a somber story.

Thank you very much, you marvelous stranger! It truly is a mind-opening and very well suited gift!
