Description: Bobbo Starwick was missing in action in Vietnam for twenty-five years until his body was found and returned home to Rhymers Creek. Letting Loose is the story of three people forced to confront memories of Bobbo, especially his gay half-brother Barry, fought with conviction against the war that claimed his brother's life.

This chronicle of love and loss presents a generation raised in the shadow of the bomb and battered first by the Vietnam war and then by drugs and AIDS. From soldiers' bars in Quang Tri to gay clubs in New York City, from the passions of the 1960s to the uncertainties of the 1990s, this novel brilliantly examines the turbulent half-century leading towards the millennium.
