The Moonimin Condition: A Southern Comedy of Accidental Honesty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798261767930)

There are two kinds of truths in this world:
the kind we tell easily, and the kind that sit in our chests like stubborn, uncooperative animals.
The first kind is social - the polite truth, the watered-down truth, the kind that doesn't ruffle feathers or raise eyebrows or invite strangers to analyze our emotional laundry.

The second kind - the honest kind - is terrifying.

It's the one we whisper, if we whisper it at all. It's the one we hide under humor, distraction, overexplaining, underexplaining, or the classic Southern strategy of "pretending nothing's wrong while offering someone a casserole."

This story began with a simple question:
What would happen if someone couldn't hide?
What if the softest person in the room - the one who avoids conflict, who never wants to hurt a soul - suddenly became incapable of protecting anyone's feelings?
What if he could only tell the unvarnished truth when the stakes were highest, the crowd was largest, and the risk was greatest?

And what if - in the moments that truly matter - he couldn't tell the truth at all?
