Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

It's Manhattan, 1983. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is going strong at the 8th Street Playhouse. HIV/AIDS is still called "the gay plague." The Twin Towers still stand tall. And Spencer Hill is convinced God has called him to the Episcopal priesthood. There's just one problem. He's gay. Determined to stay the course, Spencer avoids Donald Rainey, a young actor he's attracted to. Then he tries dating a woman, another candidate at General Theological Seminary. Then, as a last resort, he considers a life of chastity. His attempts to deny his orientation fail, and he has a crisis of faith that nearly sends him over the edge. He's saved by an insightful therapist and by his relationship with Donald, which he can no longer avoid. Then his life is in disarray again when Donald's life takes a religious turn Spencer cannot accept, and he must find a path where there is no conflict between God and gay.
