Description
Based on a true story, The Martian Child is a heartfelt novel about a single gay father adopting a sonthe basis for the major motion picture starring John Cusack, Amanda Peet, and Joan Cusack.When David Gerrold decided he wanted to adopt a son, he thought he had prepared himself for fatherhood. But eightyearold Dennis turned out to be more than he expecteda lot more. Dennis suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome, the son of a substance abuser and alcoholic who abandoned him in a seedy motel at the age of oneandahalf. His father died of an overdose. Seized by the state, Dennis was shuffled between eight different foster homes in less than eight years. He was abused and beaten severely in at least tow of his placements. Dennis was diagnosed with attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder, and put on Ritalin and then Disipramine. He was prone to violent emotional outbursts. His case history identified him as hard to place a euphemism for unadoptable.But for David Gerrold it was love at first sight
