Not-So Standing Ovation
Not-So Standing Ovation is a darkly funny, brutally honest coming-of-age story about what happens when life doesn’t just knock you down—it keeps you there.
Mikey Cole had it all: friends, confidence, a spot on the soccer team, and a future that made sense. Then, in a single moment, everything changed. Now stuck in a wheelchair and navigating a world that suddenly sees him differently, Mikey is forced to rebuild himself from the ground up—whether he wants to or not.
As he stumbles through awkward high school freshman year school days, strained family dynamics, unexpected connections, and moments that are equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, The Cole family begins to realize something: rock bottom has a strange way of showing you who you really are.
