Kelly Harland"s stories explore her son"s life to the age of 14, and the new and unexpected universe she and her husband - both professional musicians - must learn to navigate with him. Will"s fears, anxieties and obsessions can dominate daily life, making a trip to the grocery store seem like a walk across a minefield. But amidst these unpredictable "flip-outs" and "freak-outs," there are moments of wonder. When Will finally learns the give and take of conversation or dreams about his future, it rekindles his mother"s belief that anything is possible.
