Review: Love in A small town in Georgia

After reading "Latakia" by the same author I needed more of the same type of story. This story was very different but had some of the same themes: manly men falling in love, gay men finding acceptance from manly straight men, men living in the closet and suffering for it, and man on man romance. What made this story different was an affirmation that gay men could live and love in a small town in Georgia, that they didn't have to be ghettoized and still be able to love one another. Perhaps this is just fantasy but it sure felt good. My favorite parts were the two men out in a special place completely alone enjoying a beautiful natural spot and the family relationships that made them feel whole. I recommend this book for the characters, especially the central "couple", and the families that completed their lives. Rural Georgia must be beautiful!
