This was one of my favorite stories when I first started Gay Authors and I recruited Don into posting here. It is filled with all sorts of things and while it certainly zips along at a breakneck pace, it still packs in a lot of emotion. Even as I reread it now and know what happens, I still get emotionally choked up.
Great story and a great read.
So it has been a few years since I last read this and I do find the pacing of the first chapter to be a bit quick, but that was normal back when this was written in 1999. I definitely still feel the connection with the story that I felt when I first read it. I'm rereading currently because we'll be featuring this story soon for one of our site promotions.
