Summary:	"In a series of interconnected vignettes, Stewart focuses on the ordinary, slice-of-life moments -- teenagers climbing up and lounging on a rooftop, friends catching up over pints at the pub, a woman riding the night bus home --and charges these scenes with a quiet intensity. Through keen observation and an ear for naturalistic dialogue, she reveals the complex natures of her characters, from their confidence to their insecurities, as they experience the joys and pains of growing up. Drawn in a variety of different styles, from watercolor to colored pencil to pen and ink, the style of this book echoes the evolution of the characters within."--Amazon.
