"One-Handed Catch" by MJ Auch tells the poignant story of Norm, a young boy who loses his right hand in a tragic accident while playing with fireworks. As he navigates the challenges of living with a disability, Norm struggles with feelings of loss, frustration, and the desire to fit in with his friends and family. With the support of his loved ones, he learns to adapt and discovers new strengths within himself. Through humor and resilience, Norm's journey highlights the importance of perseverance, self-acceptance, and the power of friendship in overcoming life's obstacles.
