With his signature acerbic wit and hilarious voice, 20-something author,
blogger, and entrepreneur Shane Burcaw is back with an essay collection
about living a full life in a body that many people perceive as a
tragedy. From anecdotes about first introductions where people patted
him on the head instead of shaking his hand, to stories of passersby
mistaking his able-bodied girlfriend for a nurse, Shane tackles awkward
situations and assumptions with humor and grace.
On the surface, these essays are about day-to-day life as a wheelchair
user with a degenerative disease, but they are actually about family,
love, and coming of age.
