Tom, a beautiful young man with cerebral palsy, pines for Ann, the lifeguard for the summer who feels out of her depth. Then thereP#8217;s Dave, the centreP#8217;s director. He wanted to be an actor, but finds himself on a very different path.Plt;BRPgt;Plt;BRPgt;At the heart of Plt;iPgt;Upward BoundPlt;\/iPgt; is Walter, a recent college student returning to the company of his peers after a family tragedy. Around him, a story unfolds of friendships forged, connections missed and the dreams P#8211; some new, others almost forgotten P#8211; that shape us. With his wit, empathy and astonishing gifts as a storyteller, Woody Brown immerses us in life as we have never experienced it before.Plt;\/pPgt;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woody Brown","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50249940140275,"sku":"9781787336414","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9781787336414.jpg?v=1786391792","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/upward-bound-woody-brown-9781787336414","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
