From the moment author Jane Rave received her son Robert s momentous letter announcing he was gay, both their lives changed.
While compiling the stories of their evolving relationship, Robert and Jane pondered whether unconditional love between a parent and child was possible after coming out. The resulting conversations and confessions, fraught with laughter and tears, helped them deal with their emotions. In Conversations and Cosmopolitans: How to Give Your Mother a Hangover, Robert and Jane cover a diverse range of subjects, such as: point-if-ication, being brainwashed into counting everything you eat and putting it into a point system; me but Latin, what most gay men are looking for in a potential mate; and a M Lynn moment, based on Sally Field s character in Steel Magnolias who lashes out at her friends in a fit of despair. Conversations and Cosmopolitans chronicles an extraordinary friendship that grows stronger as mother and son learn to be more honest with each other and more honest with themselves."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
