Good Kings Bad Kings: A Novel

<DIV><P>Bellwether Award winner Susan Nussbaum’s powerful novel invites us into the lives of a group of typical teenagers—alienated, funny, yearning for autonomy—except that they live in an institution for juveniles with disabilities. This unfamiliar, isolated landscape is much the same as the world outside: friendships are forged, trust is built, love affairs are kindled, and rules are broken. But those who call it home have little or no control over their fate. <I>Good Kings Bad Kings</I> challenges our definitions of what it means to be disabled in a story told with remarkable authenticity and in voices that resound with humor and spirit.</P></DIV>
