Title: Leaps of Faith
Description: Flip is an actor who makes a living as a bike messenger. His boyfriend, Warren, is a socially conservative psychic. Flip's sister, Rosie, is a union organizer who trusts the workers -- until they make the wrong decision. Will Warren understand Flip's drive to be an artist? Will Flip forgive Warren for having a trust fund? Will they break up or will they get married and raise Warren's eight-year-old biracial niece? And will Rosie's clerical workers finally go on strike?This witty, perceptive novel captures the way we live today -- from the guilty pleasures of watching a television cop show to the endless fascination of shopping, from obsessing about relationships to maintaining friendships via late-night phone calls, from the daily politics of office work to the thrill of finally standing up to your boss. Leaps of Faith races from the gyms of Chelsea to the cafes of the East Village, from an uptown university to a downtown theater group, proving along the way that a novel where the personal is always political can also be enormously fun.
