APOS graphic novel by Anna Wright
 
Apos is an illustrated graphic novel detailing the journey of young Mormon missionaries, offering vignettes into their struggles with companions, mental health and navigation of faith. The text of Apos is drawn from the author’s mission journals and discussions with others who served. 
 
Culturally, Latter-day Saints (or “Mormons”) tend to speak of their missions in glowing terms. Miracles, blessings, and friendships that last a lifetime come from their experience. But too often pain and mental illness stay unacknowledged. This book is a space for those underrepresented stories, with the hope of fostering discussion, healing and understanding within the Latter-day Saint community and beyond.
