Mike is the bartender at a meeting place for the small but thriving community of gay men in Cold Falls. As witness to the men who come here looking for what they need--sex, direction, friendship, spiritual fulfillment, and love--he marvels at their determination, strength and foolishness. Ford weaves together the stories of seven men, chronicling their dreams, hurts, heartbreaks, joys, and hopes, while taking readers on an emotional journey to find what it is we're all looking for.--From publisher description ER -
