15-year-old Natasha is an aspiring poet; life is a horizon where her words can take flight.

But to the rest of the world, Natasha is “wheelchair girl”, “special treatment”, or “bad karma”. Many people assume many things about her, about cerebral palsy.

If she could speak her mind in a fantasy world, what would she say?

When will society stop talking at her wheelchair? When will society start talking to her?

What is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), who has it?

How does a family raise a teenager with ADHD? How does this condition affect the lives of everybody living under one roof?

By drawing on first-hand accounts of parents and siblings of people with ADHD, this play revolves around the complex and often difficult relationships between family members, where the line between taking care of yourself and loving your family - even when they are difficult to love - is often blurred or breached.
