Nate has twice the number of mothers other people have-and twice the number of parents many kids find themselves living with. Two moms is better than a mom and no dad, right?
Well, not in the eyes of Nate's homophobic kindergarten teacher.
Or in the eyes of many children in his class.
But.
The beautiful thing about this book is that having lesbian parents isn't the main problem, or even a very big one for Nick, though it does cause resentment between Jo and her homophobic parents-in-law.
No, Nick finds his trouble where many other kids are distraught to find theirs-- in parents who find that the cracks that plague every relationship are too wide in their own, and cannot be mended.
With moms who were never married, and a mother who never legally adopted her son, verbal promises mean nothing if it comes to the law. So when Mom refuses to let Nick see Jo, there is nothing he, or she, can do about it.
Or is there?
This book is an amazing and realistic story that shows how homosexual relationships are no different from heterosexual ones, and how even if you work through all the people who stand opposed to you, you can find hostility in the one you loved enough to battle for.
