I was born "pretty"-not smart. It took 50+ years, my dear, dead mom, and a six-month road trip looking for my marbles for Mom's pearls to deliver what I'd been chasing all along-a roadmap to "my life worth loving." I'm so damn "pretty"-I can't stand it. At the heart of this tale: a minister dad, two gay sons on different paths. A "saint" of a Mom with a twisted sense of humor keeping us alive and out of prison. A bonus: My SASS Meter, tracking my self-absorption along the way. The beauty: my parents' evolving into the grandest expression of love imaginable. And don't forget-I find my life worth loving. A twistedly funny, heartfelt memoir about family, grief, loss, and ultimately love.
