The narrative follows Emily, a Chinese-American attending the Idaho Writer's Workshop, and their relationships with their classmates, professors and romantic partner, Larissa, who is white. The comic explores how intimate partner violence affects someone's interpersonal relationships and their own relationship with themselves. The Goddess of Drought is written in English with phrases in simplified Chinese. -- Grace Li
