Mentioned in the note as a root cause of Pete's despair? A disparaging comment made to him about his developmental disability by none other than their high school speech team coach, Gary Gold. As more thorny memories surface from their eighties adolescence, Tip and his best friend, fellow speech team alum Nat Farb-Miola, decide to reconnect with their other teammates, and they discover an unsettling thread: all were quietly wounded by Mr. Gold's offhandedly insensitive remarks. The silver lining? Gary Gold is still alive, and a quick Google search tells the quartet that he has retired to Florida. There's only one thing left to do: confront him. By turns incisive and sweet, alive with the sting of wounds past and the hopeful possibility of the present, Speech Team explores what it means to take account of the pain that can suffuse a life and what it means, years on, to move forward"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Murphy Transit   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Murphy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Fiction Murphy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Murphy Checked out 06/04/2024 Add Copy to MyList
