At eight, height is a fact. By high school, it's a cage." ​In this unflinching memoir, Matthew Lungu exposes the "sad truth" of living in a world that measures worth in inches. From the trauma of school bullying to the quiet isolation of being twenty-two but looking fifteen, Lungu explores how insecurity can "edit down" a life before it truly begins. ​A raw look at the anatomy of a wound, this story follows a young artist reclaiming his narrative. Through the power of performance and the pen, Lungu proves that stature is found in the spirit.
