Omschrijving
From the author of: "Life Times Nine", "The Guest House Chronicles", "The Pink Reich" and "Falling Hard in Hollywood" --- For Mike and his seven friends, life in mid-century America as a gay person is pervaded by oppression, harassment and adversity. As they journey through life, they find themselves bonding together in order to survive an unwelcoming world. Later in life, they must embrace their own mortality. From the Marine drill instructor avoiding suspicion to the priest struggling with his vows. From the son of immigrants forced to resort to criminal activity to the married man harboring a secret life. --- From the would-be drag performer climbing to social prominence to a prison medic fighting to the death for his dignity. These stories and others outline eight unique lives with an overlapping outcome. Influenced by the author's own friendships from adolescence to the beginning of senior citizenship, this book gives the reader more than one perspective into the same point in time. It is from the curiosity of how different people cross paths in life that this story is created. Promoting the two sides to every story concept is applied. As the reader begins the journey of each character, there are certain to be various threads of familiarity within their own life. We all face adversity and some of our greatest challenges come from those who fail us while professing their love. If not for the love of a good friend, an empty life would be waiting. --- For these unique characters, the crossroads of life created a bond as the eight founding queens.
