It has been a while since I've read this one.
I recall this as a must read, just like a must have in an album collection.
Think "butane" is not allowed here, like no swishy, no nylon. GAY men falling for each other. With an unknown at first common denominator, after a true rescue they find themselves attracted to each other.
The not really a town is more a spread out family that loves and cares for it's own. Love for nature, family and animal. Shows where the strength of these folks comes from.
Great Story R. Eric !!
