Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781468025583)

The definition of home is different for everyone. For some, it's a place, for others another person or a work of art or an old comfy sofa. Connoly Bradshaw IV moved 1800 miles from all he knew of home to avoid coming out to his family and friends. And Portland, Oregon had welcomed him. He has a job he loves, good friends and he has met his soulmate, Travis Craig. They are even thinking of buying a home together but, in order to move forward, he must face his family and the lies of omission. The miles are closing in on him and the inevitable Texas showdown hangs over his head. Then he receives word of his grandfather's death and he must return to East Texas for the funeral. Putting his own life aside out of respect for his grandfather and namesake, he decides to keep his secret a little while longer when he returns to Madison, Texas and the family he loves and fears. But on the day of the funeral, his aunt gives him a package left for him by his grandfather. Inside is a journal kept fifty years earlier when the elder Bradshaw was a young man. The journal, the final gift of love, will change Con's life forever, and the lives of everyone around him will be affected. HOME is the story of two Connoly Bradshaws: one, a contemporary story of love and coming out and acceptance. The other is a fifty year old tale of romance, love and loss in the summer of 1959. The youngest Bradshaw is about to be caught up in his grandfather's life in a way he never expected and comes to understand that generations may differ in many ways but some things never change and one of those is love.
