Book: The Martian Child by David Gerrold
Few books grip me so that I can't go to bed until I've read the last page, no matter the hour. This book gets that rare honor. The Martian Child , labeled as a novel based on true events, reads as more autobiographical. The story of a single gay science fiction writer who adopts a "hard to place" son, this is the most powerful expression of the power of parental love I have read since Expecting Adam. There is not much more I can say except, read this book.

I read it years ago and was less moved. I liked it, but not as much as you did.
I just saw the movie on HBO and really liked it. In the movie he's portrayed as a widower. It starred John Cusack (my reason for watching :) ).

I enjoyed the movie. I didn't even know it was originally a book! cool!
It's a great book.
