Housebreaking

Enter Chad, obviously worn out from a night of drinking. Enter Carmine, obviously homeless. Chad's tired of his job, his shipwreck of a sister, his shut-in father, his whole thirty-five-year-old life. Carmine is tired of life on the streets. Chad brings Carmine home, offering a drink, a shower, and a warm place to sleep, all the while forgetting that stray animals are wild and cunning survivors. Housebreaking is a slowly smoldering story that makes us wonder how we got to be who we are--and what happens when we attempt to change.--From publisher's description.
