A teen helps a younger boy see that their shared difference is no handicap to success.
JAYCE CROWDER began noticing when he was in kindergarten that he looked different from his classmates. They had two hands. He had one.
It started when one boy teased him, says his mother, Cortney Lewis. Jayce’s bubbly enthusiasm soured to sullenness. He’d return to their Des Moines, Iowa, home with questions: Why am I different? Why me? Why?
“He actually told us he was mad at God for making him that way,” his mother says. “That was a huge dagger to the heart.”
Lewis admits she didn’t know what to do at that point. How could she provide answers to her son’s questions when she had never found those answers herself?

The Story Behind Our Stories
I’m so grateful to Derek Burnett for explaining how Reader’s Digest edits and fact-checks its stories (August/September). It’s frightening that much of the information online comes from underqualified and often unpaid sources. But it feels good to read the magazine with confidence, knowing your focus is to maintain our trust in you. You have done so. —GEORGIA KAY MCCARTNEY Urbana, IL

Greetings from PERU AMATEUR CIRCUS
THE CLOWNERY STARTS on the sidewalk, even before you enter the big top. Crowds who show up to see the Peru Amateur Circus in Peru, Indiana, known as America's circus city, are greeted by merrymakers with silly jokes and swirly rainbow suckers. The smell of buttery popcorn fills the air; roaring trumpets fill the ears. Flossy cotton candy melts on the tongue. The circus is about to begin!
