**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

Others trip into it. Some people glide through life. In A Is for Awkward: And Other Reflections on Belonging, Marc Kaye uses humor and honesty to explore what it means to feel out of place—and why that feeling might be exactly where connection begins. Through personal essays spanning childhood, adolescence, fatherhood, and aging, Kaye finds meaning, dignity, and laughter in life’s most uncomfortable moments.
