Petey | Ben Mikaelsen

pick

Petey is born with Cerebral Palsy. After his parents drained their savings trying to treat him, Petey is given to the state, where he grows up in a state mental institution. Since he cannot speak, he is considered an idiot, but Petey CAN hear, think, and feel.

I read this back in 2007 and I didn't have the awareness or capacity to understand it completely because I was so young... But I adored Petey and his story... That I do remember...😊👍
