In the small town of Castle Rock, Scott is engaged in a low grade—but escalating—battle with the lesbians next door. One of the women is friendly; the other, cold as ice. Both are trying to launch a new restaurant, but the people of Castle Rock want no part of a gay married couple, and the place is in trouble. When Scott finally understands the prejudices they face—including his own—he tries to help.

A riveting story about “an ordinary man in an extraordinary condition rising above hatred” and bringing the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine together—a “joyful, uplifting” tale about finding common ground despite deep-rooted differences.
