He wears red shoes. In Riverdale, Minnesota, that is the least interesting thing about him.
Zak Jordan arrives in a small Midwestern town with a reputation that got there first and one last chance to waste. His uncle is the sheriff. His aunt teaches at the school that has already decided who he is. Everyone in Riverdale agrees on the diagnosis before anybody asks the question.
A possible wrongful conviction haunts the community. Nearly 20 years before Zak’s story, someone whose behavior and social differences reminded people of Zak was blamed for a murder that many townspeople believed he did not commit.
When troubling, similar circumstances begin emerging in the present, the old case becomes impossible to ignore. The central question is whether the community is repeating its past pattern—misreading a vulnerable, neurodivergent person, rushing to blame, and allowing fear or prejudice to substitute for evidence. As Zak unravels hidden truths, the town’s certainties begin to come apart.
What Zak cannot explain, because nobody has ever explained it to him, is why a classroom sounds like a riot, why his body moves before he decides to, and why the world seems to run at a speed everyone else can manage. He is living with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Nobody has told him.
Embracing Zak is a mystery about coming of age all the while being thoroughly misunderstood, as the community’s frozen truth thaws because Zak bothered to find out. Zak’s character development draws on more than one hundred interviews with people living with FASD, and it renders from the inside what most writing about neurodiversity describes only from a distance.
For readers of contemporary young adult fiction, small-town mystery, and anyone who has ever been the person a room made up its mind about.
Riverdale first appeared in The Whitest Wall, twenty years before the events of this book. Embracing Hope, by Carl Young and Joel Sheagren, walks alongside this story as a guide for readers and families who want to go further in understanding and making a difference.
Jodee Kulp has written more books about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders than any other parent advocate working today. Her daughter, Liz Kulp (1986 to 2024), was an award-winning author who lived with FASD.

Descripción de la tienda
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
