With a Little Help

Tales from the Eastern Shore, #4

Donny didn't meet Jake under the best of all possible circumstances — he'd been trying to kill himself at the time — but that momentary bout of madness just might have been the best thing that ever happened to him.

Taking refuge and plying a trade in the one-horse town of Burlingham, Donny finds in Jake more than friendship, more than affection, more, even, than a lover; and with the help of their mutual friend Maggie, he discovers things about himself he never knew.

But as a thunderhead begins to swell above Halter Lake and loom over the people Donny has grown to love, his history is about to rediscover him, with fury burning in its heart and hatred curdling its soul.

Set in the 1960's, "With a Little Help" is a story of a unique young man, an unusual town, and the redemptive power of love. Come, now, and visit Burlingham. You'll be glad you did.
