false 3340847 1 <div><div>A firefighter in rural Kentucky, Ursa searches for her place in life, struggling to meet her own expectations. When a tornado hits her town, the ensuing chaos brings her world into sharp focus, somehow making everything clearer, and Ursa finds that she just can&#8217;t stomach the way her life is going. It is then that she meets Rafi, an illegal immigrant whose life isn&#8217;t going the way he&#8217;d pictured it either. Their encounter is the catalyst for Ursa and Rafi, who take different roads to the realization that wanting your life to change isn&#8217;t enough to make it happen. <br><br><br><br> <br><br><br><br>Slow Storm stands apart as a graphic novel with its literary heart and charged, atmospheric watercolor and ink artwork. The storm builds around the characters and inside them, and moments of violence and tenderness suddenly crack like lightning. With Slow Storm, Danica Novgorodoff takes her place as a talent to be reckoned with in the literary world.<br><br></div></div> 3379125 2 9 2008 Slow Storm total:85|5:6|4:16|3:43|2:20|1:0| 85 263 116 21 3 0 false false Mon May 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 13:13:12 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 05:47:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Mar 30 09:38:28 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 09:53:41 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu May 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 23 20:21:39 -0700 2008 Fri May 23 20:28:16 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jul 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 21:34:28 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 21:40:23 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun May 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 11:33:20 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 11:46:11 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 03 12:38:06 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 03 12:38:37 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Dec 30 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 20:14:47 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 20:17:49 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Jan 20 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 23:12:26 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 23:15:30 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jun 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 30 13:52:19 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 30 14:00:45 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Jan 24 07:49:07 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 07:53:05 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jun 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 10:43:34 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 08:26:10 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 20 13:50:17 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 13:52:08 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Nov 25 10:39:37 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 25 10:48:46 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 12:21:51 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 12:22:28 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Mar 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Dec 10 09:51:42 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 13 10:21:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Aug 31 20:41:50 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 20:49:51 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Nov 22 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Oct 01 14:13:37 -0700 2008 Tue Dec 16 12:19:27 -0800 2008 5 1 false false Mon Jul 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 11:15:23 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 13:27:35 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 17 13:09:39 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 08:03:55 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 19 16:07:29 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 12 08:20:39 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3340847
