Why read it?

1 author picked Leg as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Greg Marshall tells his own story with such vulnerability, honesty, and good humor. He writes of his experience growing up gay in Utah in the 1990s while also struggling with "tight tendons" that turn out to be a manifestation of cerebral palsy. This book is thought-provoking and often laugh-out-loud funny.
