Stone Fruit

Bron and Ray are a queer couple who delight in their roles as the playfully unconventional aunties to Ray’s niece, Nessie. Their spirited playdates—full of joyous abandon—offer a sanctuary from the emotional fractures growing between them. As intimacy wanes, both women retreat into isolation and attempt to reconcile with the difficult relationships they share with their families. Rendered in evocative blue-hued watercolors and naturalistic dialogue, Stone Fruit immerses readers in the delicate ache of vulnerability and the quiet strength of being seen for exactly who we are.

~ Included for its profoundly moving, non-romantic exploration of queer aunthood, chosen family, and the emotional labor of healing. A delicately powerful graphic novel that captures intimacy, longing, and the courage to grow beyond silence. ~
