Calling Dr. Laura
Calling Dr. Laura is a black-and-white illustrated graphic memoir in which Georges, raised to believe her father was dead, learns in her twenties that her family had concealed he was alive and turns to radio host Dr. Laura Schlessinger for advice. The book blends coming-of-age and coming-out themes with disarming, heartfelt illustrations.
