Summary
At just eight months old, Gabriel Goodman falls victim to an intestinal obstruction, one that should’ve taken his short-lived life. Thanks to the few doctors that took his parents' concerns seriously, he narrowly survives. Now, at seventeen years old, he must learn to live with the aftershocks of his infant illness, how to overcome the terror his near death experience had brought him, and how to be the best brother and son he possibly can be, no matter how damaged his family may be.

Summary
At eight months old, Natalie Goodman died of an intestinal obstruction. Her younger brother Gabe survived, living with Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction Syndrome. They called his survival a miracle. But living in the shadow of his older sister and feeling the weight of expectation, forcing himself to grow up fast and do things for himself, Gabe feels anything but lucky.
Along with the rest of his family, Gabe tries to cover things up, pretend everything’s fine. But eventually, the cracks start to show.
