A handicapped boy wants to cure his own muscle disease, but a rivalry turns his ambitions into obsessions.
Dennis Caine has a pretty average near death experience. White light. Crisis of faith. Family bonding. Don’t forget: delusions of grandeur. Plenty of those.
After a surgery gone wrong leaves him bedridden, Dennis isn’t satisfied with just regaining his strength. His harrowing journey of rehabilitation is just the beginning, as he seeks to cure his muscle weakness, impress the girl of his dreams, and destroy his childhood bully. You know: your average delusions of grandeur.
Experience the first chapter in a companion series based on the Seven Deadly sins. Each tale will investigate the horrors of human error across history, and contrasts our corruption with the power of the gospel.

Critic reviews
"...the ending had a perfect feeling of unease and suspense ... it basically felt the same way as when I finished watching Psycho for the first time..." (Megan Pegasus, Booktuber/Reviewer)
The first few chapters didn't really grab me. They felt like a memoir that leaned heavily on stating facts and feelings rather than pulling the reader into the emotion of the circumstances. However, after Dennis leaves the rehab and begins interacting with peers (especially Beth--a girl who becomes his best friend), my interest was piqued. The last third of the story turned a lot more serious and even dark. Dennis turns from a boy struggling to find his purpose and place in the world to someone self-absorbed, bitter, and obsessed. In the final chapter, after drastic and sickening behavior, Dennis verbally delivers the message of the book to his young cousin.
Cane and Able is not a book that fits neatly into a specific genre or set of expectations. If you enjoy high concept books that come right out and state their message yet still manage to leave you with question marks, this is definitely a read you'll enjoy. Due to violence and a chapter containing a stereotypical bachelor party, I would not recommend the story for young teenagers or below.
