Book Synopsis
Ro, a young Black teen boy, is raised in 2020s Philadelphia where he first experienced the effects of anxiety at the tender age of eight.
At the time, he didn't tell anyone about his experience, not even his best friend. All he knew is that he had difficulty breathing and his whole inside bounced around like a pinball. As he gets older he constantly runs into situations that triggers his anxiety, until one day he passes out in front of his parents.
His parents bring him to a doctor and Ro receives pills to calm his anxiety. However, the pills are not enough to get rid of the pinball in his stomach because he's still surrounded by all his triggers. Ro also finds out he's not the only one that's having difficulty breathing.
Until one day everything changes but how?
