George Hodgman is one of those guys who never felt like he fit in. He was gay and grew up in a small town. He never doubted the love of his parents, however, the awesome Betty and Big George. Now Big George is gone and Betty may not be able to live by herself anymore. George returns home to Paris, MO from New York City and tries to figure out what to do while he cares for Betty.
This book is full of fun anecdotes and stories of the family. As you read, you feel for everyone involved. At first it seems like George is sacrificing to help his mother but then you realize he is also helping himself quite a bit.
Plenty of local color and interesting "place dropping" for those of us in Missouri.
