Nonfiction by Greg Marshall
Greg Marshall was born with cerebral palsy but he didn't know it until he was thirty years old.
Apparently his mother didn't want him "labelled," and just said his bad leg and weak arm were just due to "tight tendons." She felt that Greg could just act like he was normal, and then it would be so. Interestingly enough, it worked somewhat. Greg grew up with a can-do mindset that served him well in many ways. But that didn't stop him from being absolutely livid when he found out the truth.
This was an interesting set up for a memoir, but the bulk of the book was just random disconnected stories, so it's not the kind of memoir I really like.
