Sean Wilseys first book, Oh the Glory of It All, is a very funny and disturbing read. It chronicles his early life growing up wealthy in San Francisco.
Sean's mother [one of the thinly veiled characters in Armistead Maupin's bestselling Tales of the City] is a 1980s society-page staple, regularly entertaining movie stars in her penthouse. But when Sean turns nine years old, his father divorces his mother and marries her best friend. Sean's life blows apart. His mother first invites him to commit suicide with her, then has a "vision" of salvation and begins traveling the globe.
