Against All Odds

What does a mother do when her seven-year-old son shows romantic behavior toward her? She educates. Quickly.
Two young, single mothers, each with an only child, a son, and without a father or adult male in the home, live in La Jolla, California. The women meet regularly over lunch and a cocktail over about ten years time to reveal their own eroticism, and to discuss their sons' sexual development and education. These mothers and sons, in their special living situation, have to face many stirring and sizzling psychological and emotional issues.
They deal with controversial issues such as sexually liberal child rearing practices versus sexual abuse as currently understood by most people. They need to be sure they are doing right. The novel has up-to-date factual details about childhood sexuality and psychological consequences.
The writing novel is bold and sophisticated--not pornographic. It has social value. It will be banned by schools up through High School, but it is for adults.
The sexually curious boys are surprisingly adventuresome in the early years, but as is normal at around age eight, their eroticism simmers down. This is caused by hormonal and spiritual changes. The loving mothers wonder what their sons will be like in adolescence when sex hormones surge, and they find out.
The reader is in for forthright and sometimes astounding sexual behavior of young boys growing up, and ground-shaking educational techniques of the mothers. The author promises the reader intellectual rewards, as well as entertainment.
