Description
As young girls in Cairo, Anna and Layla strike up an unlikely friendship that crosses class, cultural, and religious divides.
Years later, Anna learns that she may carry the hereditary cancer gene responsible for her mother's death.
Meanwhile, Layla's family is faced with a difficult decision about kidney transplantation.
Their friendship is put to the test when these medical crises reveal stark differences in their perspectives...until revolutionary unrest in Egypt changes their lives forever. The first book in a new series, Lissa brings anthropological research to life in comic form, combining scholarly insights and accessible, visually-rich storytelling to foster greater understanding of global politics, inequalities, and solidarity.
