The Home for Wayward Parrots

Description

Accustomed to being an only child, adoptee Brian "Gumbo" Guillemot's teenage hobby was searching for his birth parents. After years without a lead, when he finally finds his birth mother, Kim, he's unprepared for the boisterous instant family that comes with her.

No one, besides Kim, knows anything about Gumbo's birth father. With Kim refusing to answer any questions, Gumbo must choose whether to continue the search, even if it means alienating his few friends and both his families. And the more he learns, the more he wonders whether some things are better left unknown.

Captivating and playful, The Home For Wayward Parrots explores friendship, romance, modern families and geek pop culture with wit, compassion and extremely foul-mouthed birds.
