![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As a subplot, Patty's mother is diagnosed with Alzheimers and the family comes together to cope with this.Patty has the baby and Ethan names her Marilyn after Patty's mom. Patty can't help but hope that Ethan will "go straight" and be the lover she desires. They finally decide to have a child together and they attempt to live together, but it turns out that primarily Ethan is trying to escape from the depression caused by his many friends dying from AIDs and his grueling experiences in caring for them. She can't help loving Ethan and he loves her too, just not sexually or romantically. The woman, Patty, desperately desires a baby,but isn't willing to settle for a man she doesn't love. They had been connected since childhood, had an affair before he "came out" and are best friends. This particular novel is about a 36 year old woman in love with a gay man.
