Query: Therapy and a Good Read

Seems like many authors writing primarily for a specialized audience can rely upon that audience, and don't have to mind things like quality. That is hardly the case with William Mann and this book. Like its predecessor, Men from the Boys, this book is extremely well-written, with believable, human characters, with attributes and flaws. The book offers that rarest thing in modern novels -- something that both makes you think AND that you enjoy reading. Topics such as monogamy, forgiveness, hate crimes, and gay men-women relationships are addresses seriously, but without lecturing, politics, or stereotypes. Finally, one grows by reading these books -- it is an ally against much pain and depression and uncertainty. In short, it is a gift.
