This book fully encapsulates not only what it's like to have a family member with a disability but also how a family would behave in such a troubling situation. And because those two experiences are incredibly complex on their own, combining them and doing it this seamlessly is beyond impressive. There are no dull characters, and every detail was significant and mind bending. I can't describe this story as anything other than phenomenal.
