The Condition

The Condition by Jennifer Haigh is a deeply moving family drama that explores love, identity, and the quiet fractures that shape our lives. When the McKotch family gathers for a summer vacation in 1976, they discover that their daughter Gwen has Turner’s syndrome — a condition that traps her in the body of a child forever, a diagnosis that will alter the family’s path forever.

As the years unfold, each family member struggles to define themselves in the shadow of that revelation. With her signature empathy and keen insight, Haigh examines how secrets, expectations, and the passage of time change the way we see ourselves and those we love.

Graceful, tender, and beautifully written, The Condition is a rich portrait of family bonds tested by difference — and the enduring need for acceptance.
