This book typifies the normal parents reactions when their child comes out as gay. Calvin came out as gay to his parents and they took his cellphone from him and refused to let him go to the staff meeting after the play. His boyfriend Jason was concerned. After Calvin left home he tried to get Jason in trouble with the law. Great book and once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I definitely recommend this book.
