A decade-long diary of growing awareness in fatherhood — the story of raising Luna, a child "without time and without adverbs," who has Angelman syndrome. Through her, Igor discovers what it means to be a father in a way necessarily and consciously different from motherhood. In the simple act of doing things together with Luna — not merely having things done for her — a conviction emerges: "Sharing an experience is the lifeblood of any relationship, and all the more so between parent and child." Salamone, an educator and pedagogical consultant, lends us his eyes as a father and invites us into an intimate encounter. What begins as difficult thoughts about his daughter's disability opens outward to universal questions about education, the weight of words, chance, the future, anger, God, freedom — and in doing so, expands our own vision.
