{"product_id":"conversations-with-mother-9780822246008","title":"Conversations with Mother","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrowing up isn't easy - especially with a strong-willed, Italian-American mother keeping tabs on your every move. Free-spirited Bobby has a knack for getting into trouble, and his mother, Maria, never hesitates to offer her opinion, like it or lump it. As he comes of age and builds a life for himself in New York City as a struggling playwright - is there any other kind? - Maria is always there with a phone call or check-in, following her mother's intuition. And when Bobby begins to seek independence as a gay man, Maria stretches her own beliefs to support him. Through learning curves, life's complications and hard-won victories, their love for each other holds plenty of laughs and a few tears, but most importantly, never diminishes. An unsettling yet tender comedy that traces the relationship between an Italian-American mother and her son over the course of five decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Lombardo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Concord Theatricals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822246008","brand":"Concord Theatricals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46858599235721,"sku":"9780822246008","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_bb7ebc0d-af7a-40a7-8f19-e716dd85cbe6.jpg?v=1780981330","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/conversations-with-mother-9780822246008","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
