  Danica Novgorodoff's (SY '02) debut graphic novel, Slow Storm, is now in stores and on Amazon.com. 

   

"A very literate and rich graphic novel."  - VOYA


On the day after the Kentucky Derby, tornado season descends on Oldham County. Lightning strikes.  A barn burns. In its embers, a poignant but fleeting relationship is kindled between firefighter Ursa Crain and Rafi, a Mexican immigrant.

By turns violent and poetic, magical and mundane, Slow Storm follows the flight of a young illegal both enchanted and disappointed by America, and a woman with dark clouds looming above and within her.
