Summary:
Zoe Baxter has spent ten years trying to get pregnant, and after multiple miscarriages and infertility issues, it looks like her dream is about to come true she is seven months pregnant. But a terrible turn of events leads to a nightmare one that takes away the baby she has already fallen for; and breaks apart her marriage to Max. In the aftermath, she throws herself into her career as a music therapist using music clinically to soothe burn victims in a hospital; to help Alzheimer s patients connect with the present; to provide solace for hospice patients. When Vanessa a guidance counselor -- asks her to work with a suicidal teen, their relationship moves from business to friendship and then, to Zoe s surprise, blossoms into love. When Zoe allows herself to start thinking of having a family, again, she remembers that there are still frozen embryos that were never used by herself and Max. Meanwhile, Max has found peace at the bottom of a bottle until he is redeemed by an evangelical church, whose charismatic pastor Clive Lincoln has vowed to fight the homosexual agenda that has threatened traditional family values in America. But this mission becomes personal for Max, when Zoe and her same-sex partner say they want permission to raise his unborn child. SING YOU HOME explores what it means to be gay in today s world, and how reproductive science has outstripped the legal system. Are embryos people or property? What challenges do same-sex couples face when it comes to marriage and adoption? What happens when religion and sexual orientation two issues that are supposed to be justice-blind enter the courtroom? And most importantly, what constitutes a traditional family in today s day and age? Also in a very unique move readers will get to literally hear Zoe Baxter s voice. I am collaborating with Ellen Wilber, a dear friend who is also a very talented musician, to create a CD of original songs, which will correspond to each of the chapters. This CD will be packaged with each hardcover book. So literally stay tuned!
