This story was completed during the year she spent as a Fulbright scholar in Armenia while also working on a project that builds on her award-winning graphic memoir series Aliceheimer’s. When not in the mountains of Armenia, she lives in the mountains of Vermont. Like Water on Stone is her first novel. Visit her at danawalrath.com.
