“Probably the single most moving work I've read in the comics medium so far. Unsettling at times, but overall a very emotional and inspirational book. Also of note, anyone who has pet rat is gonna want to read this as well, as it has a refreshingly accurate and touching portrayal of said creatures, though be ready for the aforementioned unsettling events.”

“A difficult topic, a careful handling. In this tale, a girl runs away from incestuous abuse by her father - seeking her future at the hands of Beatrix Potter's past.”

“Helen Potter is a homeless runaway teen in England. She's escaped her sexually abusive father and takes refuge with her Beatrix Potter books and sketches. Memory flashbacks haunt her daily. She's taken in by fellow street kids but takes off when one their cats kills her beloved pet rat. She ends up in the countryside of the English Lake District where she's taken in by a kindly couple who run a restaurant. Helen would be content to stay there forever but realizes she must first confront her father.”
