| Summary |
Walker Brown was born with a genetic mutation, cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, so rare that doctors call it an orphan syndrome: perhaps 300 people around the world also live with it. Walker still wears diapers, can't speak and needs to wear special cuffs on his arms so that he can't continually hit himself. With a tender imagination and stark honesty, Ian Brown infuses The Boy in the Moon with the quality of love: for this amazing boy, for his family, and for life. |
