In the summer of 1966, aspiring artist Kevin Sacco learns that his family is moving from New York City to London-and that he will be attending Sevenoaks, a traditional boarding school in the English countryside. At first considered a "Yank" outsider with limited academic or sports acumen, Sacco gradually comes to experience and understand this life of rugby, cold showers, new friendships and discipline. Letters between Sacco and his best friend in New York serve to compare his cloistered life at Sevenoaks to the life that he would be living back home: a life touched by drugs, anti-war sentiments and racial unrest.From the author of Josephine and White Night

In 2015 artist Kevin Sacco returned to New York City after a period of living in New Jersey. The author of such acclaimed graphic novels as The Pane Story, Joesphine and White Night, re-discovered the wonders, mircales and majesties of the city he had once known as home and to which he was happy to return. Wandering his hometown Sacco captured the rhytms, feel and the sense of wonder that met him at every corner and every park. The drawings in this book reflect on the life he shares with his fellow New Yorkers and captures the essence of the New York state of mind.

In his first work since The Plane Story, Kevin Sacco brings us a wordless Civil Rights-era tale of a young boy with a complicated family life who accompanies his family's domestic - Josephine - from his Upper West Side comforts to her neighborhood haunts in Harlem. This journey subtly imbues the boy with a world view as full of blacks, whites and grays as the story's art. At the heart of this narrative is the bond the boy shares with Josephine - until a sinister plot twist casts a dark shadow on their relationship.
