false 6682556 1 <i>"So there we are, a father and two sons in a household without role models, males together in a home different from anything I'd known—an idyllic Lost Boys' world with a house full of children and as few rules as possible."</i><br><br>When Simon Carr's wife Susie lost her battle to cancer, Carr was left to raise his 5-year old son, Alexander, on his own. Soon after, Hugo, his 11-year old son from a previous marriage comes to live with them. Now, this motley crew of boys have to learn how to be a family. Along the way, Carr reveals some illuminating truths about parenting and the differences between mothers and fathers. His messy household bears no similarity to the immaculate home his wife kept; his response to mothers on the playground fretting about his son's safety on the handlebars is, "If he falls, at least he'll know not to do it again." Emotionally honest and sharply witty, Carr's story is at once heartbreaking and wonderfully life-affirming. 6877846 1 9 2009 The Boys Are Back (Movie Tie-in Edition (Vintage) total:3|5:0|4:2|3:1|2:0|1:0| 3 11 23 2 3 1 false false Tue Oct 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 13:34:03 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 16:57:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Oct 14 17:53:09 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 17:53:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Nov 30 14:13:50 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 30 07:05:56 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 30 14:13:50 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 27 18:07:17 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 27 18:07:23 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 17 06:37:55 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 06:37:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 11 17:25:41 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 17:25:41 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 29 14:26:13 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 14:26:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 13:53:07 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 13:53:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 22 14:29:13 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 14:29:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 22 10:51:38 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 10:51:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 21 01:03:03 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 01:03:03 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Nov 15 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Oct 11 07:39:10 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 15 11:58:30 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 29 13:48:41 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 13:48:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 26 11:54:37 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 11:54:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 25 22:39:11 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 22:39:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 25 10:36:18 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 10:36:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 25 09:38:35 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 09:38:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 25 03:34:46 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 03:34:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 24 17:50:34 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 17:50:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 23 08:15:18 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 08:15:18 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6682556
