Bettyville by George Hodgman

When George Hodgman leaves Manhattan for his hometown of Paris, Missouri, he finds himself in a head-on collision with his aging mother, Betty, a woman of wit and will. He can't bring himself to force her from the home they both treasure - the place where his father's voice lingers, the scene of shared jokes and, behind the dusty antiques, a rarely acknowledged conflict: Betty, who speaks her mind but cannot quite reveal her heart, has never really accepted the fact that her son is gay. Bettyville is Hodgman's memoir of secrets, silences and enduring love.

George Hodgman has worked as a magazine and book editor for Simon & Schuster, Vanity Fair, and Talk magazine. His work has featured in publications such as Entertainment Weekly, Interview, W, and Harper's Bazaar, among others. He splits his time between New York and Paris, Missouri.
