About this item
Beloved journalist and sportswriter Will Leitch makes his fiction debut with this novel, as suspenseful as it is moving, the story of a young man suffering from a debilitating disease who believes he has witnessed the kidnapping of a young college student.Daniel leads a rich life in the university town of Athens, Georgia. He's got a couple close friends, a steady paycheck working for a regional airline, and of course, for a few glorious days each Fall, college football tailgates. He considers himself to be a mostly lucky guy - despite the fact that he's suffered from a horrible illness since he was a small child, one that has left him unable to speak or to move without a wheelchair. Largely confined to his home, Daniel spends the hours he's not online communicating with irate air travelers observing his neighborhood from his front porch.
