Chance explains to Patrick that he must be bisexual and tries to explain what that means and entails. Patrick is more understanding and thinking he is not seeing Chance again .. he doesn't feel that bad for sharing his experience...But Chance and Patrick , indeed , see each other again .. because Chance is a sound technician on the same set.Chance , songwriter ... working in the hope of one of his songs gets pickup ... gay man who has a great mother Violet , a great and intense sister Vannah and sadly homophobic brother Gareth.Patrick and Chance form a friendship , they understand each other and take care of each other in a non sexual way due to Patrick still married , but feelings are developing...When finally Patrick's marriage collapses ... nothing to do with his friendship with Chance and Patrick brings his son Avery with him .. the relationship with time between Patrick and Chance intensifies.But Patrick has sadly a very hard time confessing to his family his truth and his reality .. that almost cost him ... his one true love Chance.The secondary characters are a great compliment to the story ... Rhys who you hate and then love ... Sebastian and Angelo are two of the actors  who become good friends with Patrick and Chance. Marcy and Pablo who since the beginning are hoping Patrick and Chance become more ... and Sophia / Tom drag queen extraordinaire ... with humor, love and devotion ... Andy her / his partner ...Who can forget Avery...a 3 year old boy who is a smart kid , who loves his da and his daddy. Who is a lovable kid ...Patrick's great grandmother Tutu is excellent too ... Some of his many siblings are there for him ... and eventually his Mama Kalea and quiet Da Shaughn .. are there too.I love this book ... great way to tell the story and great way to focus in other way to teach someone how to love,I must say I am really impressed by the author and became her fan after reading an interview about the book ... Great job Ms. Grace R Duncan.  Mahalo !
