Everyone is confused. They seem to think Colin McDonough is disabled. He was declared legally blind at birth, but five years earlier, newborns with his visual acuity were considered sighted. Are they just making this up as they go along?
In grade school, he treated large print textbooks like they were radioactive, he avoided the special ed room like it was room 237 in The Shining, and after an Orientation and Mobility instructor materialized in the hallway, he oriented her to the door.

But it's the summer of 1997 and his English degree isn't his only problem. He's unemployed, he has no car, and he's become a stranger in his hometown. He receives a job offer he can't refuse in a factory.
For the blind.
They just can't let this go, can they?
Will they finally drain the fight out of him?
Meet Me in the Morning is a Gen X backyard keg party of a book. It chronicles the angst and loneliness of young adulthood, the meandering road to those few people who care, and more Real World Seattle references than should be allowed by law.
