Two
twenty-year-olds set off for the wilds of Kansas in hopes that they
can live their lives as lovers in peace there. As the case of Matthew
Shepherd proves too little in the lives of gay lovers has changed
over the last century. Having survived the Civil War Frank and
Gregory leave their less than accepting families behind braving bands
of ruffians, marauding Indians, bad weather, prairie fire, and
suspicious neighbours
to carve out a life for themselves. The book is well-written and
charts pioneer life and spirit. Although it is made clear this couple
sleep together and exchange hugs and kisses the text does not
describe their further love-making nor does it find it necessary to
use profanity. Although novella in length it is a very satisfying
read.
