On Boxing Day in 2004, Edie Fassnidge set off for a day of kayaking off the coast of Thailand with her boyfriend, mother & sister. That`s when disaster struck. She felt a shift in the air; she spotted something on the horizon; & seconds later, the first wave came crashing down upon them. Separated from her family & covered in open wounds, Edie battled for hours to get to safety: colliding with rocks; tumbling underwater as if in a giant washing machine; grappling with overgrown branches & venomous ants...all the while hanging on to the hope that she wasn`t the only one to survive. Rinse, Spin, Repeat is a graphic memoir depicting Edie`s experience of surviving the Indian Ocean tsunami that claimed over 200, 000 lives & changed hers forever. Using simple illustrations & concise text, she unfolds her feelings in the hours & days of pain & uncertainty that followed. She also reflects on her struggle to find peace in the aftermath of the tsunami, which ultimately empowered her to become the person she is today. It is a simultaneously devastating & inspiring story that will capture the heart of anyone who has wondered how it is possible to keep going after life has crumbled to pieces. ...
