Everyday Matters

In the tradition of Persepolis, In the Shadow of No Towers, and Our Cancer Year, comes an illustrated memoir of remarkable depth, power, and beauty.

Danny Gregory and his wife, Patti, hadn't been married long. Their baby, Jack, was ten-months-old; life was pretty swell. And then Patti fell under a subway train and was paralyzed from the waist down.

In a world where nothing seemed to have much meaning, Danny decided to teach himself to draw, and what he learned stunned him. Suddenly things had color again, and value. The result is Everyday Matters, his journal of discovery, recovery, and daily life in New York City. It is as funny, insightful, and surprising as life itself.
