He's a man she only knows through their mail correspondence, a common enough reality of the zine era, when comics were mailed from cartoonist to reader and close relationships were formed. Time is not on their side--the soldier is just on furlough for a few days--but the two make the most of their visit and discuss future plans, maybe even Christmas in Doucet's city, Montreal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on diary entries from the whirlwind romance, the passion and high emotions of youth--before you know the limits of love, before you know the difference between love and lust--seep through the pages. In contrast to the tryst, Doucet draws herself today, at fifty-five. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter years of being in a crowd of men, Doucet compulsively returns to drawing, creating an alternate universe that foregrounds women.
