As Ned boards a plane to Chicago on his way to his friend's bedside, he embarks on another journey into memory, examining the major events and small moments that have shaped his world and his relationships with these two very different, very important men. <p> Growing up together through the restrictive 1950's and confusing '60's, Jackson "Jack" Grace and Ned Brummel took solace in their love for each other. But once they arrive at college in 1969 and meet handsome farm boy Andy Kowalski, everything changes. Despite Andy's apparent heterosexuality, both Jack and Ned fall hard for him, straining their close friendship. Soon, the three men will become involved in a series of intense liaisons and bitter betrayals, coming together and flying apart, as they alternately hurt, love, shape, and heal one another over the course of years. From the heady, drug- and sex-fueled days of San Francisco in the wild seventies to the haunting spectre of AIDS in the eighties and the righteous activism of the nineties, their relationship transforms and grows, reflecting the changes going on around them. Now, together again in the most crucial and intimate of settings, Ned, Jack, and Andy have another chance to confront the damage of the past and embrace the bonds of friendship and love that have stood the test of time. <p> "Impactful. . .real. . .Ford's beautiful story makes it all seem possible and believable. . .these are rich characters, heartfelt descriptions and real-life happenings that resonate. . .allow yourself to get lost in this story." --<i>The Lambda Book Report</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Ford expands his repertoire with this brimful first novel about life, love, and self-discovery over the course of a steamy Provincetown summer...a satisfying beach book--and a pleasant fiction debut for Ford."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Michael Thomas Ford</b> is the author of numerous books, most notably the "Trials from My Queer Life" series of essay collections--<i>Alec Baldwin Doesn't Love Me, That's Mr. Faggot to You, It's Not Mean If It's True, The Little Book of Neuroses, </i> and <i>My Big Fat Queer Life.</i> He lives in San Francisco with his partner and a very large black Lab.
