It just sort of happened, in the way that love often does: naturally, instinctually, and whole-heartedly.Īfter college, I had a friend who, like me, was naturally, instinctually, and whole-heartedly attracted to boys. And when I was with him, I never wanted to leave.Īt no point prior to falling hard for Kal did I choose to be attracted to a boy. When he wasn’t around, I wanted to be with him. Although I didn’t really know why at the time, my heart beat faster near him. He had shaggy, leonine hair and a pet iguana and a jungle gym in his basement. My first crush was on a boy named Kal Raustiala when I was in second grade. But this mission becomes personal for Max, when Zoe and her same-sex partner say they want permission to raise his unborn child. 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. 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.
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. 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. 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. 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.
