Jan Grue was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy at the age of three. Shifting between specific periods of his life, he intersperses these histories with elegant, astonishingly wise reflections on the world, social structures, disability, loss, relationships, and the body: in short, on what it means to be human. Along the way, Grue moves effortlessly between his own story and those of others. This is a story about accepting one's own body and limitations, and learning to love life as it is while remaining open to hope and discovery.
