"My Private Pectus is a serious yet comical portrayal of teenager Jack McDermott's struggle to discover who is, what he's meant to look like, and how much he should care about what other people think. Jack's chest deformity is symbolic of the body-image issues young men face daily in schools today." (Publisher's website)
