Breakfast with Scot (New ed)

A gay couple faces sudden parenthood and the embarrassing truth about their own definitions of "normal" in this novel.

Sam and Ed are living the good life: happy, healthy, devoted to each other and their careers, they have no yearning for the joyful mysteries of parenthood.

But when eleven-year-old Scot's mother suddenly dies, the couple is determined to make good on a wine-soaked promise made years before.

They hang a tire swing in the back yard and call the neighborhood school to arrange enrollment.

Scot arrives just in time to start fifth grade - with a pair of lacy white socks in his duffel bag.

With wry dialogue, frothy characters, and an offbeat plot, Michael Downing's mastery reaches new heights of brilliance in Breakfast with Scot.
