Charles Frary

Father Found Charles Frary

You're a man who listened to your teenage son tell you how he's what you've never been able to admit about yourself: queer. When you punished him with silence, he ran away finally-to the distant city. You followed-desperate to find him. Only what you found instead was another boy-who saw through you right off, and proceeded to act upon it. Now you can't seem to forget what that boy did. Can't seem to get him out of your head. Or your runaway son, either. Every waking hour, they both haunt you. Till you finally take off for the city again-determined to have the one, if you can't get back the other. In Father Found-the latest installment of a cycle that already includes An Omen in the Bone and Son in Homing Flight-Mr. Frary explores the troubled soul of a man fueled by guilt: over a son he might have lost forever and over his desire for a difficult young stranger who just might hold the key to a way-out.
