And yet, when she receives a letter from her youngest son, Jeff, informing her that he is gay, Tessa is distraught. At a time when homosexuality is regarded as a mental illness, she struggles with how best to be a parent to a gay son—and how to protect her family from the prejudices of the era. Elegant and subtly drawn, Consenting Adult is a stunning tribute to familial bonds, and a sympathetic portrait of a mother whose best intentions are often clouded by the stereotypes of her time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Doubleday","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44425911337013,"sku":"ByrdShop_0385034989","price":4331.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780385034982_899f8c5d-d1f8-433f-a0aa-5950c5a506d4.jpg?v=1784259919","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/consenting-adult-9780385034982","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
