Appeal: Silent but powerful, tragic yet hopeful.

Stuck In Neutral by Terry Trueman could be a good read for individuals who are interested in diving into the complexities of living with a disability, while also exploring the power of human resilience. The book's unique and distinctive feature lies in its first-person narrative, providing readers with an intimate and immersive perspective of the protagonist's daily struggles. Readers would appreciate the up-close look into the thoughts and emotions of someone who cannot communicate through conventional means. This book is a moving exploration of the human spirit and its ability to persevere through the most challenging circumstances.

Description

Shawn McDaniel is an enigma and a miracle —except no one knows it, least of all his father. His life is not what it may seem to anyone looking at him. Not even those who love him best have any idea what he is truly like. In this extraordinary and powerful first novel, the reader learns to look beyond the obvious and finds a character whose spirit is rich beyond imagining and whose story is unforgettable. My life is like one of those "good news-bad news" jokes. Like, "I've got some good news and some bad news—which do you want first?" I could go on about my good news for hours, but you probably want to hear the punch line, my bad news, right? Well, there isn't that much, really, but what's here is pretty wild. First off, my parents got divorced ten years ago because of me. My being born changed everything for all of us, in every way. My dad didn't divorce my mom, or my sister, Cindy, or my brother, Paul—he divorced me. He couldn't handle my condition, so he had to leave. My condition? Well, that brings us to the guts of my bad news.
