Told with the storytelling power and emotional fidelity of Wally Lamb, this is a
searing drama of a modern American family on the brink of dissolution, one
that explores adoption, gay marriage, and love lost and found. For years,
Matthew Greene and Daniel Rosen have enjoyed a quiet domestic life together
in Northampton, Massachusetts. Opposites in many ways, they have grown
together and made their relationship work. But when they learn that Danielâ
€™s twin brother and sister-in-law have been killed in a bombing in
Jerusalem, their lives are suddenly, utterly transformed. In dealing with their
families and the need to make a decision about who will raise the deceased
couple’s two children, both Matthew and Daniel are confronted with
challenges that strike at the very heart of their relationship. What is Matthewâ
€™s place in an extended family that does not completely accept him or the
commitment he and Daniel have made? How do Daniel’s questions about
his identity as a Jewish man affect his life as a gay American? Tensions only
intensify when they learn that the deceased parents wanted Matthew and
Daniel to adopt the children—six-year-old Gal, and baby Noam. The impact
this instant new family has on Matthew, Daniel, and their relationship is subtle
and heartbreaking, yet not without glimmers of hope. They must learn to
reinvent and redefine their bond in profound, sometimes painful ways. What
kind of parents can these two men really be? How does a family become
strong enough to stay together and endure? And are there limits to honesty or
commitment—or love?
