Description

An own voices story about Gwendolyn Rogers, a girl struggling with learning differences that are neither right nor wrong, but perfectly individual. No one, including her mom, teachers, or therapists, can pinpoint Gwendolyn's problem, except she believes she has fifty-four issues according to a confidential school report. In order to attend horse camp with her half-brother Tyler, she needs to get these issues under control. However, Tyler, who has ADHD, and her perfect best friend Hettie can't help her. Hopeless, Gwendolyn remembers the twelve-step program that helped her mother regain control of her life and wonders if it could also help her.
