When a traumatic experience in grade school opens the eyes of Aaron Thomas to his life as someone who stutters, he finds himself on two distinct journeys. One is an imaginative quest to battle his inner doubts and fears and to uncover the reason behind his existence as Stutter Boy. The other is an adventure navigating through elementary and high school facing the real challenges—and also enjoying certain triumphs—of living with stuttering. Throughout Aaron's childhood and teenage years, both journeys run parallel to each other and lead him to discover his true identity and purpose, changing his life forever.

Stutter Boy takes readers inside the mind of someone who stutters and shows that we are at our best when we share with others our personal testimonies of trials and triumphs, as one person’s impediment can be another person’s gift.
