Ropeless (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780984124213)

Ropeless is a 15-time award-winning novel that explores the conflicting loyalties of a daughter as she watches her mother age and her older brother, who has Down syndrome, face his future. Set in Brooklyn and Silicon Valley, it takes the reader into the complex world of social services, where well-meaning social workers confront frustrating bureaucracies, and introduces a sexy, articulate man who uses a wheelchair as the result of a childhood spinal cord injury. By turns heart wrenching and hilarious, Ropeless offers a new perspective on disabilities, one that both accepts and embraces life fully.
