Phil Robertson faces each day with one leg in a world built for two. These short stories follow his journey through situations that would challenge anyone, but hit differently when you're missing a limb. Robertson navigates a society where his physical difference marks him as someone who might not have survived in earlier times or harsher places. He encounters the daily obstacles that come with being a monopod, from practical challenges to social assumptions. Through each experience, Robertson finds humor in the struggle. His stories reveal how a major physical limitation shapes a life, but also how perspective and resilience can transform disadvantage into something else entirely. This collection captures the specific reality of moving through the world differently, told by someone who has learned to laugh at the rugged path he travels.
