When Joey's world collides with the gorgeous Gloria, the boy who likes to stand at a distance and watch, is forced to participate in his own life for the first time. While Joey tries to negotiate the intricacies of first love, he's surrounded by a smothering mother, neighborhood boys with their own code of sexuality, and a father with a secret that will stun the family and force Joey to make the first grown-up decision of his life.This is a heartfelt coming of age story, a tale of love and loss set in the breezy, warm air of 1960's San Diego. It takes you back to a simpler era, and pulls on your heartstrings as you journey with a young man who's adrift in an unfamiliar sea of emotions and desperately looking for land.

Galyean, born in east Texas, grew up in San Diego, CA until graduation from UCSD in biology. A short stab at an acting career led to performing as a teacher of ESL and then to teaching literature analysis at adult schools, mostly to eager immigrant students. After reading Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones, years of journal writing translated into what would become Bougainvillea Blues, earning an M.A. in English from CSULA for a much shorter version. He now lives in the sprawl of Los Angeles with his wife and an enormous pepper tree.
