“When she is twelve years old, Bethany discovers the reason her grandmother wears leg braces; and it has something to do with how Bethany herself has started tripping, falling, and losing her grasp on objects. The cause? Charcot-Marie-Tooth, an inherited genetic disorder (or is it a disease?). How does it feel? Like a torpedo that has wrecked her once idyllic childhood. And yet, CMT isn't everything; Bethany grows up, goes to college, falls in love, and learns that the person she has become is, at her heart, the person she always was; just with braces. How Should a Body Be? Is a coming of age story, a family story, and above all a love story that happens to be set against the backdrop of its titular question,”; Back cover.
