The Growing Feathers — Jay Coles

We all have a story to tell and so does the protagonist in this really poignant novel. Have you wondered what life is like from someone else's eyes? Actually, someone with a mental illness? Wesley J. Ellwanger, at first, is an average teenage boy with a severe desire to take the prettiest girl to the prom and drive his parents absolutely bonkers. Every one in the Ellwanger family has a secret and only one person knows all of them. After a sequence of weird events, and after a devastating plane crash, Wesley (Wes) J. Ellwanger's life is changed forever and so is his personality and his way of living. Will Wes be able to cope with his new life? Will he ever be able to escape his past? Most importantly, will he remember?
