Tom Foster and Noah Webster have been together for three years. In that time, Tom has completed his doctorate, Noah has begun working on his master's, and both men have come into their own as performers. Suddenly international recognition becomes a reality instead of a dream. They even perform at the dedication of a concert hall at the University of Aragoni.<br><br>But it's not all smooth sailing. They still have to battle Noah's Uncle Joe over the division of property he owned with Noah's late father. Tom's father has been distant ever since Tom chose music over law school. And Noah's mother's attitude toward his relationship with Tom leaves something to be desired. With their busy performance schedules, will Tom and Noah be able to make peace with their parents and get a fair deal?

The Performers

“Oh, yeah,” Noah said. “The meadow was littered with beer cans, cigarette butts, and used condoms. Plus, the ‘good old boy’ who installed the driveway told us that he used to bring girls up here when he was younger.”


“I guess you’ve put them out of business,” Mrs. Foster said.


“You bet we did. ‘No Trespassing’ signs were the first thing we installed.”


“Cynthia,” Mr. Foster said, “are you ready for me to get our bags out of the car?”


“We’ll do it, Pop,” Tom said. “I’ve still got your car keys.”


They left Tom’s parents on the deck and went down to the car to retrieve the luggage. “Cynthia doesn’t believe in traveling light, does she?” Noah said as he struggled up the stairs with two heavy cases.


They placed the luggage in the guest room and went back to the deck. “Your bags are in the guest room, Mom,” Tom said.
