Synopsis
Movie mogul Rick has had every perk Hollywood can offer, but still feels something's missing. As his fiftieth birthday approaches, he decides he wants a family even though he can't commit to a woman - and is about to give everything he's got to adopt a baby.
The writing team of Ruthie and Sheldon has produced both great comedy and a great kid. But Sheldon is gay and the specter of HIV is complicating their already unconventional lives.
Lainie and Mitch gave birth to their chick boutique, Panache, with ease, yet they can't have a baby without a surrogate. Can Lainie risk losing her husband to "the other woman" - the one bearing his child?
Now, these couples have gathered at "The Stork Club", a support group for unique parents, in a novel about a 1990's way of having a family... and a timeless way of losing one's heart.

From the Back Cover
Songs in Ordinary Time is set in the summer of 1960 - the last of quiet times and America's innocence. It centers on Marie Fermoyle, a strong but vulnerable woman whose loneliness and ambition for her children make her easy prey for the dangerous con man Omar Duvall. Marie's children are Alice, seventeen - involved with a troubled young priest; Norm, sixteen - hotheaded and idealistic; and Benjy, twelve - isolated and misunderstood, and so desperate for his mother's happiness that he hides the deadly truth only he knows about Duvall. Among a fascinating cast of characters we meet the children's alcoholic father, Sam Fermoyle, now living with his senile mother and embittered sister; Sam's meek brother-in-law, who makes anonymous love calls from the bathroom of his ailing appliance store; and the Klubock family, who - in complete contrast to the Fermoyles - live an orderly life in the perfect house next door.
