Chase Banter has always been about risk avoidance, but parenthood has changed all that. Among other things, sheβs embraced a writerβs life, joined the board of the Lesbian Illumination Institute and fomented rebellion within the PTA.
When she and her BFF Lacey butt heads over the Institute, Chase decides itβs high time she prove once and for all that she is a changed woman. Her daughter, Bud, is an eight-year-old filmmaker, and will document her motherβs fearlessness, once she figures out how to focus past knee caps. Chase proves she can visit Urgent Care and not wash her hands afterward. She can skateboard, teach people how to drive andβto the surprise of many, including herselfβshe can gift wrap anything.
All these changes can only lead to one thing: the Gift Wrapping National Finals. How hard can it be, after all? Itβs not as if sheβs going to jump out of a plane or anything like that.
Saxon Bennettβs tongue-in-cheek take on Chase Banterβs quirky lesbian life won a Golden Crown Award for Family Affair. Marching to a Different Accordion was an instant bestseller.
