Description
The Coward by Jarred McGinnis is a powerful exploration of hurt and forgiveness. After a devastating car accident, the protagonist's life is turned upside down as he struggles to come to terms with his new reality.
Confinement to a 'giant roller-skate' leaves him without financial means or employment opportunities, forcing him to return home to a father he hasn't spoken to in years. As he tries to rebuild his life, he must confront the pain and damage of his past, including a shoplifting habit, addiction to painkillers, and a world that treats disabled people with suspicion.
This thought-provoking novel is a poignant examination of the human condition, highlighting the complexities of hurt, forgiveness, and the ways in which society interacts with those who are differently abled.
