Whit is a down on his luck newspaper reporter.  Of course, it's the height of the Depression, and everyone is down on his luck.  Near the end of his rope, Whit gets a make it or break it assignment from his editor and returns to the flophouse where he's been sleeping since being evicted from his apartment.  Peter is there, and the two feel an instant chemistry.  Peter takes Whit home with him--to a Gramercy Park mansion.I can't tell any more without spoiling, but this is one of the loveliest stories I've ever read.  I'm reminded of the story  in which a little girl who, when faced with a beach filled with gasping starfish, begins throwing them, one at a time, back into the sea.  A man remarks that, given the vast number of victims, she can hardly make a difference.  "Yes, I will," she insists.  " For that one and that one and that one," she says as she throws.Oh, what a wonderful novella!  Just read it, even if m/m isn't your usual cup of tea. I'm still a bit weepy.
