Description: "Sam and Ed are living the good life. Ed is an editor at an Italian art magazine. Sam a successful chiropractor. Though devoted to one another, they have no longings for the joyful mysteries of parenthood."--BOOK JACKET.

"But when eleven-year-old Scot's mother dies suddenly, the couple is determined to make good on a wine-soaked promise made years before. Plunging into a flurry of activity, they do their best to prepare themselves and their home for Scot's arrival. They hang a tire swing in the front yard, rearrange their furniture and their work schedules, and call the neighborhood school to arrange for enrollment. None of their well-intended preparations, however, can ready them for Scot."--BOOK JACKET.
