As a child, Charley Benetto is told by his father, You can be a mama's boy or you can be a daddy's boy, but you can't be both. So he chooses his father, and he worships himright up to the day the man disappears. An eleven-year-old Charley must then turn to his mother, who bravely raises him on her own, despite Charley's embarrassment and yearnings for a complete family.
