Blue Calhoun A Novel Author: "This starts with the happiest I ever was, though it brought down suffering on everybody near me. Short as it lasted and long ago, I've never laid it all out yet, not start to finish.

And for the next three decades, their love has borne consequences of the most shattering -- and ultimately, perhaps healing -- kind for everyone they know. As Blue recounts the years and their events for us -- fervently, tenderly, knowing full well his own deep responsibility -- we are made witnesses to a story of classic dimensions, a story of love and suffering, family and friendship, death and redemption.

This author was unknown to me at the time I picked up "Blue Calhoun". After reading it, I branded his name into my memory because I want to read more of his stuff.
The story itself is not unusual, but the author's insights into human frailities - and his forgiveness of them - make this a special book.
