The Unexpected Son

A gay man and a small-town beauty. An inexplicable marriage and the inevitable divorce. A miracle child growing up during an unfathomable plague.Despite our heritage we werent pioneers; we were accidental astronauts. We were spaceship stowaways in a simple love story made complicated by the world but made extraordinary by its participants.For as long as I can remember this book has always been The Unexpected Son. It feels somewhat ambiguous but AIDS ina Time of Mormonism Love in a Time of Persecution or any other witty title that I could apply feels far more dramatic than the narrative itself. It was just a childhood to me.It is a good story; I hope I tell it well
