Life challenges can sometimes be difficult to articulate and can even lose the reader when the words fail. However, there is an advantage when your storyteller, guide and translator is a gifted writer.

This is the funniest book I have ever read about a catastrophic medical event. I would compare it favorably to the Norman Cousins classic Anatomy of an Illness...except Seale is the better writer and "One Hand" the better book. It's that good.

PS. re Next book. This is the river he talks about "pedaling" to the ocean: It is the southernmost river in Texas north of the Rio Grande. Nueces is Spanish for nuts; Spanish explorers named the river after the numerous pecan trees along its banks. Nueces River. Wiki.
TPR Interview with Avrel includes a pic of Dash Crofts (I need to locate my pic of me with Dan Seals - Media intro for his performance - only 20 + years ago!).
