Beth's Reviews > Alone in Space: A Collection

Amazing and often painfully emotional stories from Walden's early years (age 16 to early 20s). The first, 3-part story, "End of Summer" is an alternate world with years' long seasons. Told from the standpoint of a preadolescent boy, it's rich with sublte family conflict, dysfunction, and love as well as truly amazing art.

Other stories include a teen lesbian romance that is realistic in its arc and art, a metaphorical (or fantasy?) story of a young woman's maturity, and more.

For older teens and adults who like Walden's other work, particularly fans of her "On a Sunbeam."
