A witty, tender memoir of your son's journey home to look after his irascible mother - an account of secrets, silences, and long lasting love When George Hodgman leaves Manhattan for his hometown of Paris, Missouri, he detects himself - an unlikely caretaker and near-lethal make - in a head-on collision with his aging mother, Betty, a female of wit and will. Will George lure her into aided living? When hell freezes over. He can't bring himself to push her from the home both treasure - where his father's speech lingers, the picture of shared jokes, skirmishes, and, behind the dusty antiques, a almost never acknowledged issue: Betty, who talks her head but cannot quite reveal her heart, has never really accepted the fact that her child is gay. As both of these unforgettable characters make an effort to bring their different worlds together, Hodgman shows the challenges of Betty's life and his own struggle for self-respect, moving listeners using their company small town - crumbling but nonetheless colorful - to the star-studded corridors of Vanity Fair. Evocative of The End you will ever have Book Golf club and The Sensitive Pub, Hodgman's debut is both an indelible portrait of a family group and an exquisitely advised tale of your prodigal son's return.
