A hypermobile memoir about the emotional landscape of the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome from a patient’s perspective. A playful story of falling down, getting back up again, and realizing you should have gone to the hospital sooner.
“Graybeal pulls us into the landscape of her ‘floppy’ body with precision and grace. Brimming with queer love, cats, and the awkwardness of being human, Floppy is a roadmap for how we must learn to fight for the truth of our experiences, and how we can love the broken, beautiful body-homes we all live in.” -Laraine Herring
