Description
You have never read a book like this before.
The Long Cutie hooks you with alternating chapters about a charmingly precocious 3 year old girl and stories of other real life people who have Long QT Syndrome, a potentially life threatening heart condition.
But this is no sob-story cry fest!
This is a life-affirming, often hilarious, occasionally thrilling, rollercoaster ride!
The Long Cutie will make you smile, nod, laugh and cry - sometimes all in the same page. Interspersed throughout the book are fascinating vignettes from a Norwegian man who tells stories about his family's tragic history of LQTS. All the stories in the book are true. Some families consider themselves "special needs." Others don't. Some found out that they had Long QT by passing out and wrecking their cars! Some were misdiagnosed with epilepsy for years. Some of their stories are like reading TV medical drama. Some are like reading a comedy. All of them are amazingly true and a rollercoaster of emotions to read, but you will not end up depressed or feeling bad as you read because these are some of the strongest people you will ever read about and they do not inspire and will not accept - pity.
Think of it like Pulp Fiction without all the shooting and blood. And without the gangsters. And without the cussing. And... Okay, don't think of it like Pulp Fiction. Wait, DO think of Pulp Fiction, but only in the way the stories are separate stories that are told in pieces that may or may not overlap.
You know, you'll just have to read it.
But I think you're really going to like it!
And I know you are going to be touched by it.
Deeply.
