Rewind the VHS tapes (this is the '90s) 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 foulmouthed 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. Here, in the hot mess of it all, lies Greg Marshall's wellspring of wit and wisdom.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e           \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Extraordinarily funny and insightful, \u003ci\u003eLeg\u003c\/i\u003e is packed with outrageous stories of a singular childhood. It is also a unique examination of what it means to transform when there are parts of yourself you can't change, a moving portrait of a family in crisis, and a tale of resilience of spirit. In Marshall's deft hands, we see a story both personal and universal--of being young and wanting the world, even when the world doesn't feel like yours to want.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49958501515537,"sku":"CIN1419763601G","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51025177641233,"sku":"NIN9781419763601","price":27.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51423789809937,"sku":"CIN1419763601VG","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":52832355025169,"sku":"CIN1419763601LN","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52836541628689,"sku":"CIN1419763601A","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1419763601.jpg?v=1786134727","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/leg-book-greg-marshall-9781419763601","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
