    Summary:

    The first time Brian Guillemot ever spoke to his mother, he was thirty years old, reading a European re-imagining of the X-Men and sitting on the john. An adopted only child, Brian "Gumbo" Guillemot's teenage hobby was searching for his birth parents. But when he finally finds his birth mother, Kim, he's unprepared for the instant family that comes with her. No one knows anything about Brian's birth father and Kim's penchant for divulging too much information disappears whenever he is mentioned. Brian refuses to give up the search, even if it means alienating his few friends and both his families. But the more he learns, the more he wonders whether some things are better left unknown. A late-bloomer's coming of age story, The Home For Wayward Parrots explores friendship, romance, modern families and geek pop culture with wit, compassion and extremely foul-mouthed birds.
