"It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship."
- Henry Ward Beecher
(1813 - 1887)

| |  | | | In Brief
Fifteen-year-old Jack's confused feelings for his father, who left himand his mother four years earlier, are further complicated when he finds thathis father is gay. "Grades nine to twelve." (SLJ)
| | | | From The Publisher
In Jack, A. M. Homes gives us a teenager who wants nothing more than to be normal — even if being normal means having divorced parents and a rather strange best friend. But when Jack's father takes him out in a rowboat on Lake Watchmayoyo and tells his son he's gay, nothing will ever be normal again. Out of Jack's struggle to redefine what "family" means, A. M. Homes crafts a novel of enormous humor, charm, and resonance, the most convincing, funny, and insightful novel about adolescence since The Catcher In The Rye.
