LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALIST • An audacious and wryly funny coming-of-age story about a pregnant pizza delivery girl who becomes obsessed with one of her customers. Eighteen years old, pregnant, and working as a pizza delivery girl in suburban Los Angeles, our charmingly dysfunctional heroine is deeply lost and in complete denial. She's grieving the death of her father, avoiding her supportive mom and loving boyfriend, and flagrantly ignoring her future. Her world is further upended when she becomes obsessed with Jenny, a stay-at-home mother new to the neighborhood, who comes to depend on weekly deliveries of pickled-covered pizzas for her son's happiness. As one woman looks toward motherhood and the other toward middle age, the relationship between the two begins to blur in strange, complicated, and ultimately heartbreaking ways.

This book came to be from decades of spirited debate at dinners, cocktail parties, private conversations, history, research, observations, and my personal bemusement of how men behave, or misbehave. How we (men) compartmentalize women, propagate our seeds, and exploit, not only women, but our sexual deviations as well. It is a fascinating look at addiction to power and sex. I wanted to share my musing on the age old practice of overpowering the "weaker sex" (sic). I hope you enjoy my satire I hope it makes you think about how we can change from where we've come. At the least, I hope it provides a platform to have open dialogue and healthy discussion about sex, relationships, power, and true morality.
