{"product_id":"leg","title":"Leg","description":"\u003cp\u003eGreg Marshall''s early years were pretty bizarre. Rewind the VHS tapes (this is the nineties) 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\u003ci\u003eLeg\u003c\/i\u003e is an extraordinarily funny and insightful memoir from a daring new voice. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57235279511934,"sku":"NW9781398716360","price":10.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781398716360.jpg?v=1778543392","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/leg","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
