At the age of thirty, Ben Suskin discovers he is adopted and turns to his brother Jonathan for help. Jonathan, who is gay, doesn't have the same questions about their traditional upbringing, their biological heritages, or their parents' intentions. So Ben begins a secret journey is search of his past. It is a moving tale about faith and sexuality, about the communities we're born into and the ones we choose, about the ties that bind us even deeper than blood. It is a story about the confusion of adoption and the complications of family. Available from G.P. Putnam's Sons, ISBN: 0-399-14116-2.
