First sentence: Who would have thought that such a seemingly normal, uneventful night would end up changing my life forever?
Description: Andy Martin's masquerade of middle-class bliss ends the day his wife and son desert him.  When he inadvertantly stumbles into a dingy St. Louis gay bar and encounters Tysin, a 21-year-old streetwise drifter, Andy's world transforms forever.  Their lives merge into a frenzied and uncertain love affair, as Andy falls in love for the first time and comes out as a gay man.  Is Tysin his savior, as Andy believes?  Or is the truth much more disturbing?  Follow Andy on his tortuous and bewildering journey for true love, sweltering sex, God, and redemption -- discovered in the queerest of places.
Notes: This novel has been commended as as a haunting psychological drama, and the only gay novel with St. Louis as the backdrop.
