Description
Of the Noble and Great Ones is an immersive novel that offers an authentic neurodivergent perspective for champions of people with disabilities. It takes place in the mind of Juke, a charismatic teenager with autism and profound intellectual disability. Juke tests at a permanent 2-year-old level and struggles to be understood as he grapples with basic questions like, Why was I born this way? And, How do I stop abuse? But he is far more than he appears.
Juke physically attacks several caregivers and is sent to live in an institution. Over a weekend visit back home, lucid dreams of a fantastic pre-mortal world and his devoted family help Juke solve the riddle of how an intolerable life can be worth living, and how each of us can live our best life.
Inspired by reality, join H.D. LOGiC as he channels Juke’s genius inner voice in this literary novel and modern spiritual epic as complex and sensational as the human beings with disabilities in your life.
Advance Praise
***** "Insightful and inspiring, I'd give this novel a whole bucket full of stars if I could."
Jamie Michele, Readers' Favorite
***** "Of the Noble and Great Ones artfully interweaves elements of reality with the supernatural, presenting an intricate tale of a teenager that allows readers to delve deep into his psyche, insights, and experiences.... [A]s the narrative unfurled, I realized I was privy to the inner workings of a unique, special-needs mind, which brought a sense of coherence to the initial ambiguity. This striking perspective is one of the book's many compelling attributes—it invites you to see the world through the lens of the protagonist, fostering a profound sense of empathy and understanding."
Karen Almeida, Literary Titan
***** "Wherever we go in the varied, psychological, and truly touching narrative, the confidence and depth of the author's storytelling reassure you that you're in safe hands, allowing you to become immersed in a fascinating neurodivergent viewpoint.... [W]holeheartedly recommend[ed] ... to fans of engaging literary fiction everywhere, especially those with an interest in innovative, original approaches to central characters with disabilities."
