  This book is a part of the 12 books by 12 friends reading challenge. Passing for Human by Liana Finck is a graphic novel memoir of the author growing up in addition to her family's history. The central theme is "finding your shadow...again", which is basically a message of never losing sight of who you really are, even when the world seems against you. The author illustrates this through her own love of art. Sometimes the main story line gets interrupted with the Creation story from Genesis, but it ties in really well with the overall theme.  This was such an emotional and moving memoir! I love Finck's art style--it is so unique and whimsical. I gave this book a solid 5 stars .
