Work Description

Thirteen-year-old Davy has a difficult time adjusting to his grandmother's death and life in New York with his erratic mother. He becomes close friends with a male classmate at his new school. The friendship later turns sexual, eventually causing Davy to struggle with feelings of guilt. It was one of the first mainstream teen novels to deal with homosexuality.
