Malcolm is a family therapist who works a couple of days a week at the local college. As story unfolds, we learn that Malcolm is a widower who has 19 and 23yr. old daughters. Story is based on relationships, particularly between parents and children, who are no longer children. I have a few children this age, it is an interesting age with many huge decisions and changes. I think the author did a good job showing this. Much of the story is centered around sexuality and the defining of oneself. This is not graphic or gratuitous, so even if the subject is not of interest, I don't think it would be offensive. There is also a bigger picture of how a parent's childhood affects his parenting and how much of one's history should be told to children. I enjoyed this book, found it unusual and memorable. The way that the author peels off the layers of her characters kept me interested and was well done. Book received in goodreads contest for fair/unbiased review
