"Sam and Ed are living the good life. Ed is an editor at an Italian art magazine. Sam a successful chiropractor. Though devoted to one another, they have no longings for the joyful mysteries of parenthood."--BOOK JACKET. "But when eleven-year-old Scot's mother dies suddenly, the couple is determined to make good on a wine-soaked promise made years before. Plunging into a flurry of activity, they do their best to prepare themselves and their home for Scot's arrival. They hang a tire swing in the front yard, rearrange their furniture and their work schedules, and call the neighborhood school to arrange for enrollment. None of their well-intended preparations, however, can ready them for Scot."--BOOK JACKET.

Scot lebt bei Sam und Ed, einem schwulen Paar, das sich unerwartet um ihn kümmern muss. Trotz seiner ungewöhnlichen Vorlieben bringt Scot sie dazu, ihre eigene Anpassung an die Gesellschaft zu hinterfragen. "Frühstück mit Scot", 2007 von Larie Lynd verfilmt, thematisiert die Herausforderungen des Lebens in der weißen Mittelschicht Neuenglands.
