A page-turner! An Absorbing, inspirational mystery-thriller.

GETTING SIMON is a gripping odyssey following one man's obsession to create a family. Not just a "gay" book, this is a profoundly human, universal story. A must-read for anyone considering adoption or surrogacy. The book just keeps getting better and better, chapter by chapter. GETTING SIMON is a great, edge of the chair suspense thriller. Two men are turned away by the woman who promised to give them her baby in the delivery room. Out of the ashes of their despair rises a man obsessed with one thing only - finding the baby he names, "Simon." A ragtag parade of potential birthmothers flows in and out of their lives, raising our hopes, then dashing them when they leave. Even though we know the ending, wanting to find out how they get there makes this book so difficult to put down. I read it in two sittings. A script literally writes itself from this book and I can't wait until the movie comes out
