Review

This blends a biographical coverage of Schow's son with insights on father/son interactions, using Brad Schow's diary entries, letters between father an son, and reflections to comment on homosexuality, health, and the grieving process. This is a strong, striking account. -- Midwest Book Review

A deeply religious Mormon family struggles with their son's homosexuality and subsequent death from Aids. The book traces the father's initial resistance to his ultimate acceptance, despite the conflict of organized religion. The book includes journals written by the son, reflecting his ambivalence and turmoil as his sexual orientation became more and more obvious. It is a sad book, as it would be in the tragic loss of a child, but in very important ways, it is a tribute to his life
