The Condition (Large Print)

The Condition tells the story of a proper New England family that comes apart during one fateful summer. To Frank and Paulette McKotch's dismay, their daughter, Gwen, has been diagnosed with Turner's syndrome - a genetic condition that leaves her trapped forever in the body of a child, and sparks heated dispute between the couple. Twenty years later, their three children - grown now, and crippled by secret conditions of their own - are still dealing with the fallout of Frank and Paulette's divorce. Then, suddenly, Gwen falls in love for the first time, and the family's world is again tilted on its axis. The Condition explores the power of family mythologies - the self-delusions, denials, and inescapable truths that forever bind fathers and mothers and siblings.
