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 $x Compact disc. 650 0 $a Fathers and sons $v Fiction $x Compact disc. 650 0 $a Abused children $v Fiction $x Compact disc. 650 0 $a Single fathers $v Fiction $x Compact disc. 650 0 $a Gay fathers $v Fiction $x Compact disc. 650 0 $a Boys $v Fiction $x Compact disc. 650 0 $a Autobiographical fiction $x Compact disc. 650 0 $a Domestic fiction $x Compact disc. 700 1 $a Brick, Scott. 939 $a 5868457 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20111119011057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7DA6F02A2B1011DEAA7E7608A8D7520AInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
