Her fourteen - year - old son Marko who has spina bifida and is partially paralyzed shares her curiosity about larger metaphysical questions but also has his own unique perspective on life: Marko perceives numbers as having colors shapes and textures and they re linked to emotions: embarrassment for example is fourteen; satisfaction is sixty - seven. Kalina is determined to respect her son's dignity and privacy as he embarks on the new terrain of adolescence complicated as it is by his continued physical dependence on her care. She has other issues to wrestle with as well including coming to understand her own life choices and her strained relationship with her father. Meanwhile Marko already expert at deep meditation discovers a technique that allows him to experience a sense of boundlessness and also gain surprising insights into himself his mother and the grandfather he's never met. Both a philosophical novel and a coming - of - age story Like Wings Your Hands explores a mother - son relationship in the context of disability and interdependence while also raising questions about the nature of time and space and the limitless capacities of the human mind.
