Reviews of The Amazing True Story of a Teenage Single Mom

Amazing True Story of a Teenage Single Mom

Robert Clough, The Comics Journal

The starkness of the events in Katherine Arnoldi's graphic novel feels real, earned, and painfully familiar. The exploitation of the poor and uneducated is a de facto part of society that allows abusers to maintain power over their victims and corporations to dominate their workers. What Arnoldi suggests in her graphic novel reviews is that her story, titled The Amazing True Story of survival, should not be viewed as remarkable. Instead, she portrays herself as an ordinary person who summoned the strength when it was needed, and she was fortunate to find a support system that helped her flourish.

“That’s how poignant, immediate and good it is: a pictorial autobiography, a redemptive fable, and the purest testimony to the strength of motherly love… Katherine Arnoldi’s work stands out in graphic novel reviews, as she is a superheroine for our times in The Amazing True Story.”
