WORDS Book Group

This book group focuses on authors and stories that explore diverse and underrepresented voices and experiences.
This month's book is "Leg: the story of a limb and the boy who grew from it" by Greg Marshall.
A little about the book:
Greg Marshall's early years were pretty bizarre. Rewind the VHS tapes and you'll see a lopsided teenager limping across a high school stage, or in a wheelchair after leg surgeries, pondering why he's crushing on half of the Utah Jazz. Add to this home video footage a mom clacking away at her newspaper column between chemos, a dad with ALS, and a cast of foul-mouthed siblings. Fast forward the tape and you'll find Marshall happily settled into his life as a gay man only to discover he's been living in another closet his whole life: He has cerebral palsy, a diagnosis that has been kept from him since birth. (His parents always told him he just had "tight tendons" and left it at that.)
Books will be available at the Main Desk for one month before this meeting. New members are always welcome.
