"Greg Marshall grew up with a limp, thinking it was “tight tendons,” only to find out – well into adulthood – that it was actually cerebral palsy and that his high school secretary knew before he did. While Leg is a memoir about Marshall’s complicated relationship with his most interesting limb, the leg has a lot of competition for top billing among the troop of brash, loud siblings, a dad with ALS and a mother who makes it her decades-long mission to be a star cancer patient. Leg has everything you want in a memoir: plenty of body humor, a little bit of smut, family drama and tons of personality."
