Publisher's Synopsis
Some called him retarded. He was called developmentally delayed, high functioning autistic, mentally disturbed. Even as a young boy, Billy comes to realize that he has a power, the power, which he must struggle to control. As he grows up his therapists try to get a handle on what really makes Billy Bryce tick, but he knows only two things for sure: he wants to be normal and he wants to be able to control the power. He blames himself and "the power" for all the bad things in his life, even as he struggles to make sense of the world around him. But try as he might, he will always be, as his grandma often said, "Not your average Joe."
