The Home for Wayward Parrots

Accustomed to being an only child, adoptee 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 boisterous instant family that comes with her.

Besides Kim, no one knows anything about Brian's birth father. With Kim refusing to answer any questions about him, Brian must choose whether to continue 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.
