Publisher's Synopsis
It is 1969 and the Viet Nam war is at its height. Daniel Stanton is 19, confused and insecure about his future and sexual identity. Born into a family of wealth and power he decides against following family tradition and enlists in the US Navy. Robert Berman, a 26 year old college graduate whose deferment from military service has expired, meets Daniel at boot camp. Impressed with his gentle manner, intelligence, charm and undeniable beauty, Robert begins to question his own feelings. They are drawn together from the first moment they meet and embark on a journey filled with adversity and doubt, neither one wanting to admit that as time goes by they are falling ever deeper in love. David Loehmann weaves a tale of love that occurs only rarely between two people, the kind that was meant to be. Set in the time of the Stonewall Riots, he recounts a period of time when being gay meant the possibility of going to jail. With first-hand knowledge of the fabric of gay life during that time, his story reflects the changes that were slowly starting to arise on the horizon.
