The Nao Of Brown HC

Writer: Glyn Dillon
Artist: Glyn Dillon

Twenty-eight-year-old Nao Brown, whoÆs hafu (half Japanese, half English), is not well. SheÆs suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and fighting violent urges to harm other people. But thatÆs not who she really wants to be. Nao has dreams. She wants to quiet her unruly mind; she wants to get her design and illustration career off the ground; and she wants to find love, perfect love. She meets Gregory, an interesting washing-machine repairman, and Ray, an art teacher at the Buddhist Center. She begins to meditate to ease her mind and open her heart ù and in doing so comes to realize that life isnÆt black-and-white after all; itÆs much more like brown.
