In the literary tradition of Nabokov, Peyrefitte and Kerouac and contemporaries John Irving and Joyce Carol Oates, the author has weaved the story of the life-long search for love and acceptance of David Platon through travels and travails encountering people from the whole spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community and two groups, MAPS (minor-attracted persons) and Intersex (hermathrodites) who are applying for membership in the community. Finally, at the age of 50, he finds, totally unexpectedly, the great love of his life and total acceptance as a human being.
