"At its core, Spit and Passion is about the transformative
moment when music crashes into a stifling adolescent bedroom and saves
you. Suddenly, you belong. At twelve years old, Cristy C. Road is
struggling to balance tradition in a Cuban Catholic family with her
newfound queer identity, and begins a chronic obsession with the punk
band Green Day. In this stunning graphic biography, Road renders the
clash between her rich inner world of fantasy and the numbing suburban
conformity she is surrounded by. She finds solace in the closet - where
she lets her deep excitement about punk rock foment, and finds in that
angst and euphoria a path to self-acceptance."
