The Condition

by Jennifer Haigh

Frank and Paulette McKotch have the perfect East Coast family until the summer of 1976. It is during that summer that they realize that something is wrong with their daughter, Gwen. But Gwen's condition, Turner's syndrome, is the least of their problems.

Flash forward twenty years and see what's become of the McKotch family. Frank and Paulette are divorced, Billy's a closeted gay, Scott's a slacker/screw-up, and Gwen is going nowhere.
Find out how all of this happened and what will happen next!

This is an engrossing read with really interesting characters. If you enjoy stories about dysfunctional families, this is the novel for you.
