Chapter 1

Caught between a rebellious teen fighting for his independence and an older brother struggling to be a parent, Matthew somatizes. Not drawing attention to his fake ailments seems the best way not to further stress the already precarious situation - but when Matthew takes his resolution a bit too far, all their lives are sent into a tailspin.
