About the Book

Diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome as a teenager, Adam, now a 26-year-old freelance designer, attends his first meeting at a social support group. Here he meets Anna, a charity worker with a face hemangioma, Marta a TV anchor with alopecia, and Eva a make up artist with vitiligo. The following week he moves in with them.

Shaped after the writer's own experience of living with Tourette's syndrome, Adam tries to move from self-inflicted invisibility to being visible-in his family, career, and personal life.

Invisible is a book about what it means to be different. A book that encourages acceptance and tolerance. A book about fear and escape, about the necessity of being loved and accepted. It's about the permanent struggle with your complexes and attempts to start loving yourself. It's about hard stories. But also about big hearts.

Review :
"A thought-provoking narrative that exposes the fortitude and strength of will needed to embrace one's wholeness despite the reality of an ableist society that views you as defective." --Hollay Ghadery, The Miramichi Reader "My heart broke so many times reading this book, and at the level of ignorance that I knew was not fiction. I'm very grateful to Baidak for writing this novel." --Just Geeking By
