A frank and funny account of how Ed copes when his misbehaving 13 year old niece, Tiffany, moves into his Manhattan life.

When you are a fortysomething gay New Yorker with a stressful job as a film agent, a fruity assortment of friends and the odd obsessive-compulsive tendency, you may not see yourself as an ideal parent. However, when Ed's sister begs him to take in her daughter - the beautiful, capricious and downright difficult Tiffany - Ed rashly agrees. Soon, his life has turned upside down as he tries to deal with an exasperating but loving teenager while learning to be a parent himself. Their relationship develops from culture shock on both sides to an affectionate tolerance of each other's idiosyncrasies and a shared passion for really bad films. Moving, stylish and appealing, this is a book about growing up, about families, about parenting and about having no idea what to do next.

EDWIN JOHN WINTLE has worked as an actor, lawyer, and film agent. He lives in New York City's Greenwich Village, where he is currently at work on a novel. BREAKFAST WITH TIFFANY is his first book.
