{"product_id":"9780983850465","title":"Stories for Boys: A Memoir","description":"In this memoir of fathers and sons, Gregory Martin struggles to reconcile the father he thought he knew with a man who has just survived a suicide attempt; a man who had been having anonymous affairs with men throughout his thirty-nine years of marriage; and who now must begin his life as a gay man. At a tipping point in our national conversation about gender and sexuality, rights and acceptance, Stories for Boys is about a father and a son finding a way to build a new relationship with one another after years of suppression and denial are given air and light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartin’s memoir is quirky and compelling with its amateur photos and grab-bag social science and literary analyses. Gregory Martin explores the impact his father’s lifelong secrets have upon his life now as a husband and father of two young boys with humor and bracing candor. Stories for Boys is resonant with conflicting emotions and the complexities of family sympathy, and asks the questions: How well do we know the people that we think we know the best? And how much do we have to know in order to keep loving them?","brand":"Hawthorne Books \u0026 Literary Arts, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47132968878320,"sku":"9780983850465","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780983850465","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
