Items related to How Evan Broke His Head: and Other Secrets
Evan is 31 years old, and he's drifting; playing in a local band and teaching middle aged men to coax music from an electric guitar is hardly exciting. His deepest secret is that he got his girlfriend pregnant before her conservative parents whisked her out of Seattle and out of Evan's life. Now, 14 years later he experiences parenthood for the first time when he undertakes to raise the resentful teenage son he's never known. Offbeat and disarming, How Evan Broke His Head And Other Secrets portrays a contemporary American family with unfailing honesty.
