More or Less Maddy

by Lisa Genova

The invitation requesting her presence at a normal life has been rescinded. In its place, she’s been invited to an abnormal life, the box for WILL ATTEND already checked, leaving her no choice.

The world outside is a prom, but she doesn’t have a date or a dress. It’s a concert everyone else is going to, but she doesn’t have a ticket.

The mental zip code where she’s currently residing is a thousand miles away from okay.
