It's 1976, and a group of black gay men go out for a night on the town and encounter more than they had anticipated. A woman discovers that the most sacred of trusts has been broken, and searches herself to understand how it came to be and how to go forward. A marriage takes a different turn by circumstance, leaving the couple to ask the question: what happens to love, when life goes wrong? The summer of 1963 was a milestone in the Civil Rights Movement, just as it is for a boy growing up black and gay. Once a 'good citizen', now a criminal, a man searches for a way out of his lifestyle while trying to hold onto life itself. Life in the magazines and on tv are alluring- - but at what cost for a woman and her twin brother? ... These are just some of the stories in 'Gather the Bones', a collection of short stories by Doug Cooper-Spencer. 'Gather the Bones' is Doug Cooper-Spencer's sixth book. His previous books are: 'This Place of Men', 'People Like Us' and 'Leaving Gomorrah'- which are books of a trilogy; and 'A Letter to a Friend' and 'Ella Pruitt', which was noted as one of the best works of fiction of 2016, by the Phillis Wheatley Book Awards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doug Cooper-Spencer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1791678866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781791678869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.67d","brand":"Doug Cooper-Spencer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077418742015,"sku":"9781791678869","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e5774499-ace6-4129-894b-e0d857771d02.jpg?v=1685469873","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gather-the-bones-doug-cooper-spencer-9781791678869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
