And yet, when she receives a letter from her youngest son, Jeff, informing her that he is gay, Tessa is distraught. At a time when homosexuality is regarded as a mental illness, she struggles with how best to be a parent to a gay son&mdash;and how to protect her family from the prejudices of the era.</div><DIV>Elegant and subtly drawn, <i>Consenting Adult</i> is a stunning tribute to familial bonds, and a sympathetic portrait of a mother whose best intentions are often clouded by the stereotypes of her time.</div></div>
