When George Hodgman leaves Manhattan for his hometown of Paris, Missouri, he finds himself--an unlikely caretaker and near-lethal cook--in a head-on collision with his aging mother, Betty, a woman of wit and will. Will George lure her into assisted living? When hell freezes over. He can't bring himself to force her from the home both treasure--the place where his father's voice lingers, the scene of shared jokes, skirmishes, and, behind the dusty antiques, a rarely acknowledged conflict: Betty, who speaks her mind but cannot quite reveal her heart, has never really accepted the fact that her son is gay. As these two unforgettable characters try to bring their different worlds together, Hodgman reveals the challenges of Betty's life and his own struggle for self-respect, moving readers from their small town-crumbling but still colorful-to the star-studded corridors of Vanity Fair. Evocative of The End of Your Life Book Club and The Tender Bar, Hodgman's debut is both an indelible portrait of a family and an exquisitely told tale of a prodigal son's return"-- 541 $d 20150714. 600 10 $a Hodgman, George. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 0 $a Aging parents $x Care $z United States. 650 0 $a Caregivers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gay men $z United States $x Family relationships. 650 0 $a Adult children of aging parents $z United States $v Biography. 650 1 $a Mothers and sons $z United States. 650 0 $a Large print type books. 650 0 $a Sons $x Family relationships $z United States. 941 $a 8 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909040520.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722050814.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20190814043501.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006085907.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20171214014345.0 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20170815011340.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20151014023422.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20150919010408.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=492600F8431311E5AE1B677DDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
