Summary:
"Those who know him can only speculate about how 22-year-old Gannet experiences the world. Gannet ("G") lives with Mowat-Wilson syndrome: a rare genetic condition that challenges communication between the right and left sides of the brain. When G moves out of his mom's house into an apartment with friends who will be his round-the-clock caregivers, everyone anticipates a painful transition. But in this house of young artists and musicians, G gets to experience life with people who grasp the poignant dichotomy of his extraordinary strengths and his heartbreaking fragility."--Container insert.
