Does sex have the power to raise the dead? That’s the question asked by Janie, the lovely, young heroine, in this hilarious and poignant tale of death, resurrection and a brand new kind of sex therapy. The answer is … maybe, however, this clever and compassionate caregiver finds out early on that she definitely can raise one particular body part, even in a comatose patient.

Thus begins a joyous rollicking romp through the life of one Tim Jacoby, cursed from birth with the label, “cute.” The story follows Tim’s sexual maturation as he endures incidents of abuse at the hands of both older males and females, emerging as a well-endowed, promiscuous teenager, whose insatiable libido leads to trouble. After his sexual exploits destroy his marriage, family and friends turn away, send ing Tim into a downward spiral of depression, alcoholism and self-loathing.

Left in a vegetative state from an attack outside a pool bar, Tim begins a slow, arduous recovery, aided by Janie’s ingenious method of using sexual “carrots” and“sticks,” to urge him on.

With an endearing cast of unique female characters, Cute is a tour de force in depicting the lifelong emotional maturation of a man whose talents, libido and conscience dictate his direction at every turn.
