DESCRIPTION:
The moral outrage that his new position provokes galvanizes him to fight for custody of Scott, battling a close-minded, conservative senator who happens to be the child's grandfather -- and a host of would-be moral arbiters in a courtroom showdown. What makes a family? New York Times bestselling novelist Eric Shaw Quinn asks and answers that question in this touching and hilarious romp through the trials -- literal and personal -- of a gay man making the decision of a lifetime to raise his nephew and in the process become the man he never knew he wanted to be. So when Michael discovers he's been named guardian of his infant nephew, Scott, he finds he's taken on the most challenging job of his life. But he's determined to do it his way, with wit, resourcefulness and spontaneity. Michael Reily never expected to find himself raising a child.

As a busy advertising executive and single gay man living in a conservative Southern town, Michael doesn't exactly have parenthood on his things-to-do list. And when fate throws some more surprises his way, he faces getting famous, getting rich, getting his heart broken and getting all the knots out of old family ties with the same originality. Hilariou
