Notes From Your Bookseller
What does it matter if nearing your 30th birthday you accidentally find out you have, and have had since childhood, a medically diagnosed disability that was never given a name? It turns out quite a lot. Greg Marshall’s gently honest memoir of rowdy family, sibling pranks, identity, loss and cerebral palsy is an often laugh out loud, hard fought argument for telling the truth.
Leg is Greg Marshall’s “riotous” (People), “witty” (USA Today), and "intimate" (NPR) memoir grappling with family, disability, and coming of age in two closets—as a gay man and as a man living with cerebral palsy.
