He believes himself to be a Martian. Gerrold begins the long, involving work of trying to earn the acceptance of Dennis, a hyperactive eight-year-old who desperately wants a father's love, but is so insecure he feels he must be an alien. Gerrold's memoir of the first two years with Dennis ends with the climax of Dennis running away and waiting in a city park at night for the flying saucers to come and reclaim him. Funny, endearing, and at times, heartbreaking, this is a beautifully written testament to fatherhood. 511 0 $a Read by Scott Brick. 650 0 $a Adopted children. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers and sons. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Abused children. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Single fathers. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gay fathers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Boys. $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Audiobooks. 655 7 $a Autobiographical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcsh 700 1 $a Brick, Scott. 939 $a 5727163 941 $a 3 945 $a cdab 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720024554.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0636376E2B0E11DE8F715E08A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IO4 952 $l HPPD845 $m CD Bk Ger $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
