{"product_id":"the-rut-bernard-amador-9780984304028","title":"The Rut","description":"This novel set in the North Country of New York State explores gay adoption in an entertaining way for both gay and general audiences. Ean is a young gay man who works as a Forensic Case Manager at a social services agency, who has been married to Stacy, an Assistant District Attorney, for three years. Stacy feels compelled to adopt a child Ean names Tur (Rut spelled backwards), who is about to be placed in foster care. As their journey with Tur begins, Ean almost loses Stacy in a car accident with a male bull moose. Stacy dies suddenly after years of disability. Ean tries to start a new life with Tur without Stacy; however, he encounters many impediments ranging from suicidal thoughts to the Cinderella complex. Ean must overcome the final conflict of allowing Mark, a moose-obsessed Department of Conservation (DEC) worker, to fully enter his life or perish in loneliness. In the end, Ean triumphs as he allows Mark, a new male \"bull\", into his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard Amador\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0984304029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780984304028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hudson Mohawk Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Bernard Amador","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742364840191,"sku":"9780984304028","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73a036dc-f365-45a1-acb6-e52a37b3d6ce.jpg?v=1782445027","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rut-bernard-amador-9780984304028","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
