Victor of the 2013 Pencil/ESPN Prize for Literary Athletics Writing, Like Any Normal Day is a profound, powerful narrative of an gold boy's tragedy, a woman's unlived life, and a brother's complicated devotion. Within the middle-1970s, brothers Buddy and Jimmy Miley were close, both on the verge of impressive athletic careers. A promising high school quarterback, Buddy's potential was cut short by an injury that still left him quadriplegic. Immobile and imprisoned in his body for many years, Buddy would watch life go by from his wheelchair, living at home under his mother's and brother's good care and wanting to know what his life might have been. Buddy and Jimmy stopped at special private hospitals and traveled to Lourdes in search of a miracle, never losing trust as they searched for a cure. But as Buddy suffered increasing pain and noticed that he would never be able to walk again - and never prove himself capable of being enjoyed by Karen, a woman he'd first met in high school - he asked Jimmy to help him end his life. Superbly written, both heart-wrenching and hopeful, Draw Kram Jr.'s Like Any Normal Day explores the key bonds between households and the depths of what we're ready to do for those we love.
