The Hot Monkey Love Trial — Lawrence G. Townsend

Bert Gropes is a reclusive twenty-six-year-old who lives at home with his mother in the farmlands of Woodland, California. He has no money, and he's about to get fired, again, from the job he loves: teaching social studies to middle-schoolers. He knows about those problems. What Bert and his mother, Eugenia Gropes, don't know until it's too late is that before he was even born, someone genetically altered him in vitro, along with the course of his natural life.
