Frank Bruni's mom

In Frank Bruni's beautiful memoir "Born Round," the New York Times restaurant critic has written a wonderful book--on so many levels. I didn't know he was gay until I read the memoir, and his relationship with his mother stood out to me, not only as insightful, loving and fun, but unquestionably accepting. Unfortunately, he lost her to cancer much too soon. But I bet she would have been an advocate for the cause of gay marriage. Read the book. You'll love it!
