Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Over a period of thirty years, three gay men struggle to define themselves and make their mark on a turbulent and unwelcoming world that is so filled with anger that love has become a luxury.The townsfolk describe him as 'prettier than a boy should be,' and ELI APPLE is embarrassed by such comments but soon learns to celebrate all the pleasures his beauty invites. An orphan, raised by eight monks in a rural monastery, he possesses the voice of an angel and while tending the monastery's flock, he sings in his tender falsetto as he roams the soft New England hills. Following at a distance, a rough, older boy, FERRIS COOPER, luxuriates in the traditional hymns ELI sings, while confused and entranced by the youngster's loveliness. And into both their lives arrives BENJAMIN BERGER, a serious young man who emulates the desires of those closest to him. The adventures of these three men become entwined in a surprising tapestry of love and betrayal over the course of thirty years. Straddling the worlds of music, religion, and art, and set in an era that begins with Ronald Reagan describing America as a 'shining city on a hill' and ends with Donald Trump's legacy of 'American carnage,' these characters come of age while America is coming apart. They celebrate as gay marriage is legalized and suffer as gun violence explodes across the country. And when a deadly virus threatens and nations close their borders, they must struggle to survive in an America they no longer recognize.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Faith may guide you, but only love brings you home.Brighton and Baéz are half-brothers forever linked by a miraculous moment on the frozen surface of Lake Aspetuck. In the heart of a deadly snowstorm, one brother plunges into darkness, and the other risks everything to pull him back to the light. That perilous episode echoes across their lives as they take vastly different paths through the chaos and complexity of the 21st century.Brighton Bethune becomes a global figure: a professional tennis champion, an Army Ranger haunted by war, and a celebrated film actor grappling with the cost of fame. Baéz Honor, grounded by the spiritual teachings of their prophetic grandmother Nonnie, follows a quieter but no less meaningful path, exploring the mysterious gift of healing he discovered on that fateful day under the ice.As the brothers navigate ambition, trauma, love, and legacy, they find themselves confronting the moral decay of the modern world, including sports corruption, spiritual exploitation, media frenzy, and the silencing of truth. Yet through every storm, their enduring affection for each other remains a lifeline, and their exuberant embrace of this imperfect world guides their fate.Without Him is a sweeping and intimate novel about brotherhood, identity, healing, and the sacred ties that bind us across time, distance, and belief. Told over three decades, it is a story of two men shaped by one impossible moment and the lives they build in its aftermath.
