About the Book
Book descriptionHe has cerebral palsy, a diagnosis that has been kept from him since birth. (His parents always told him he just had "tight tendons" and left it at that.) Here, in the hot mess of it all, lies Greg Marshall’s wellspring of wit and wisdom. Leg is an extraordinarily funny and insightful memoir from a daring new voice. Packed with outrageous stories of a singular childhood, it is also a startlingly original 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.
“Leg is intimate (and I mean that in all ways), insightful, and often laugh-out-loud funny.” Scott Simon, NPR's "Weekend Edition" | USA Today - 10 Best Memoirs of 2023
