The Summer of My
Discontent
 The
Summer of My Discontent is a tapestry of tales delving into life as
a gay teen in a small Midwestern town. Dane is a sixteen-year-old
runaway determined to start a new life of daring, love, and sex-no
matter the cost to himself, or others. His actions bring him to the
brink of disaster and only those he sought to prey upon can save
him. Among Dane's new found "friends" are a young male prostitute
and the local grave robber who becomes his despised employer. The
boys of A Better Place are back-Ethan, Nathan, Brendan, and Casper
are once again dealing with trouble in Verona, Indiana. Drought and
circumstance threaten their existence and they struggle together to
save themselves from blackmail, financial collapse, and temptation.
Brendan must cope with anonymity after being one of the most popular
boys in school. Casper must face his own past-the loss of his father
and the fate of his abusive brother, who is locked away in the very
hospital of horrors from which Brendan escaped. Letters from his
brother force Casper to question his feelings-is Jason truly a
monster or can he change? Dark, foreboding, and sexy-The Summer of
My Discontent is the tale of gay teens seeking to find themselves,
each other, and a better place.
