My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Weley has lost his right leg and left arm. He can hide the leg prosthetic but not the arm one and he badly just wants to look normal. Therapist Alba works at Hathaway House and works with patients to come to terms with their new reality. Wesley is one of the patients but as they have more sessions their connection builds but she tries to stay professional. Yet, when she points out a few issues to help him change his perspective, their friendship becomes rocky. Needing to find her balance again, she pulls back. When Wesley accidentally meets a young girl visiting her father at the centre he shifts his attitude and realises everything is within his reach if he makes the effort including Alba.
I enjoyed this story as we go through Wesley getting to grips with his physical limitations and all the ways that Alba tried to help him come to terms with the new version of himself. There were a lot of important discussions with Alba around his insistence on becoming what he saw as normal and his need for a new version of normal. Easy to read, feel and understand there are a lot of emotions in this story as we make the journey with Wesley.
