Read The Stork Club Storyline:

From Publishers Weekly The author of Beaches explores the emotional turmoil faced by single, surrogate and gay parents in this hilarious, warmhearted novel. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal With humor and poignancy, Dart probes the challenge of child rearing in the 1990s by depicting a group of nontraditional parents. At age 50, Rick, a single movie producer and avowed Casanova combatting a midlife crisis, decides to adopt a baby. Ruthie and Shelley, a successful comedy-writing team, resolve to create a child even though he is gay and she is straight. Lainie and Mitch, owners of a chic California clothing boutique, contract with a surrogate mother to produce their child. These parents form the Stork Club led by Barbara, the child psychologist who guides the group as they struggle to make their atypical family circumstances work. The author of Beaches and three other novels, Dart proves she knows how to gild the literary lily by creating a singularly good popular novel. Highly recommended for fiction collections.**
