520    "An intimate and revealing memoir of a lifelong struggle 
       to speak"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    In the fall of 2019, John Hendrickson wrote a 
       groundbreaking story for The Atlantic about Joe Biden's 
       decades-long journey with stuttering, as well as his own. 
       The article went viral, reaching readers around the world 
       and altering the course of Hendrickson's life. Overnight, 
       he was forced to publicly confront an element of himself 
       that still caused him great pain. He soon learned he 
       wasn't alone with his feelings: strangers who stutter 
       began sending him their own personal stories, something 
       that continues to this day. Now, in this reported memoir, 
       Hendrickson takes us deep inside the mind and heart of a 
       stutterer as he sets out to answer lingering questions 
       about himself and his condition that he was often too 
       afraid to ask. In Life on Delay, Hendrickson writes 
       candidly about bullying, substance abuse, depression, 
       isolation, and other issues stutterers like him face 
       daily. He explores the intricate family dynamics 
       surrounding his own stutter and revisits key people from 
       his past in unguarded interviews. Readers get an over-the-
       shoulder view of his childhood; his career as a journalist,
       which once seemed impossible; and his search for a 
       romantic partner. Along the way, Hendrickson guides us 
       through the evolution of speech therapy, the controversial
       quest for a "magic pill" to end stuttering, and the 
       burgeoning self-help movement within the stuttering 
       community. Beyond his own experiences, he shares portraits
       of fellow stutterers who have changed his life, and he 
       writes about a pioneering doctor who is upending the field
       of speech therapy.
