Books like Probation by Tom Mendicino
A brief, clandestine meeting at an Interstate rest area upends Andy Nocera’s picture‑perfect existence. Sentenced to probation and cast out by his wife, Andy spends weekdays touring as a salesman and weekends at his mother’s house, where questions linger but answers remain distant. North Carolina’s court requires a full year of therapy to clear his record, a daunting task he initially resists. Facing his mother’s sudden illness and his own reticence to live openly as a gay man, Andy’s struggle for acceptance and understanding deepens. In tracing his past, he discovers an opportunity to help another lost soul and, perhaps, to forge a future far different from the one he once envisioned.
