An eighteen-year-old leaves his home in Philadelphia to get away from a drug-addicted mother and her abusive partner, as well as to track down the man he thought was his deadbeat dad.

Do you feel "stuck" in your life right now? Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma—or simply feel unhappy or unmotivated—you may be seeking ways to find meaning, or discover the inspiration you need to create a new path in life that better serves you.

What has been missing from the daring tales of fairy tale heroes is quite simply some heft. In Burly Tales, Lambda Literary Award-winning editor Steve Berman has gathered a dozen stories of whimsy and romance that feature gay men with plenty of curves and fur.

This tale, set in 1978, introduces listeners to naïve Anna McKenna. Anna lost both of her parents at an early age. When Anna was seven, her Italian American mother, Gina, was fatally hit by a truck. Anna's hard-drinking, Irish American father, Patrick, died of a heart attack two years later. She ends up living with her mother's parents, Maria and Carmelo Gallo, along with her younger brother, Joey. Joey suffers from numerous medical problems, including "learning issues" and bad eyesight. Then, Natasha Burns, owner of Top Form Management, pulls into the Gallos' farm stand.
