Description
Roger-dodger Gibbons has rules for everything: how to fold towels, greet customers, and keep his laundromat orderly enough to quiet the noise of the world. But when he’s twenty-four and a half, he decides the story of his birth no longer belongs only to the adults who raised him. His mother died that night. His father vanished from his life. Glammy and Liz, the midwife who was there, still guard the truth as if it might break him.
To uncover what happened, Roger-dodger must reconstruct one impossible New Year’s night—a premature birth, a disastrous hospital mix-up, and an escaped patient who sends two families careening into one another. Every answer draws him deeper into a history of abandonment, protection, and unexpected kinship. Rollicking, tender, and sharply observed, Stuck on Spin is a comic family novel about forgiveness, independence, and a man determined to sort the truth for himself.
