The Irresistible Henry House by Lisa Grunwald.
The Irresistible Henry House To the ranks of iconic mid-century-modern men Gump and Garp, add The Irresistible Henry House. Henry's life unspools with more realism and intention than Gump's, with less a sense of dread than Garp's, but he and his story have similar magnetism. Arriving in the world as a 'practice baby,' Henry passes between the hands of a dozen young women at the Practice House of Wilton College's Home Economics program, in a decidedly pre-Spock era that discouraged mothers from holding babies 'too much.' He inspires in these women the desire for his exclusive attention--but none want them more than Martha Gaines, the program director, who has spent her career overseeing the proper raising of a string of 'house' orphans who were always adopted out. Unable to let Henry go, Martha raises him as her own. Burdened by her need and bewildered by his own inability to reciprocate affection, Henry retreats into a silence that buys him banishment to a school for troubled teens, far from Martha's grasp. He hones his aptitude for drawing and experiences the benefits of knowing how to please women (sometimes including Mary Jane, his real childhood sweetheart). His skills open doors for him at Disney Studios, drawing Poppins penguins, and in London, working on Yellow Submarine. The complex women who pass through his life make a fascinating microcosm of the cultural revolution that redefined the expectations of all American women in the latter half of the 20th century. But it's Henry's struggle to define the desires of his own heart that propels this story, culminating in a scene as transcendent as Carver's Cathedral"
