"Based on one of Feinberg and Rothman's columns in the New York Times, "How We Got By: New Yorkers' Advice for Getting Through a Crisis," How We Got By is an ambitious journalistic undertaking rendered in an artful, collectible package. Each accompanied by one of Rothman's full-color illustrated portraits, these personal accounts touch on a wide variety of subjects, from money and business to relationships, family, trauma, and death. A window into the world of how others think, feel, and, ultimately, survive, How We Got By invites us to remember our shared humanity as well as our truly extraordinary resilience."--

Julia Rothman is the author and/or illustrator of fourteen books, including Nature Anatomy, Ladies Drawing Night, and Hello, New York. In 2017, she cofounded--with Wendy MacNaughton--Women Who Draw, an open directory of female-identifying illustrators, artists, and cartoonists.
