Son in Homing Flight Charles Frary

A boy on a bus -- thats taking him back to the small town and the father hed run away from. I'm queer, hed told his father. More than enough to seal his fate in the house hed been raised in. The city will be better, hed thought. No, not better. After three weeks, definitely not better -- only different. And strange. Strange as the three men hed met there -- complicated puzzles he hadnt come within a mile of solving. Now, if you cant solve them -- or the city, either -- where else do you go? But back? To what? To square one, was it? Son in Homing Flight (a continuation of a story begun in Mr. Frarys previous book, An Omen in the Bone) is an innovative exploration of the mind of someone in transit: on a two-hours-and-change shuttle between the past and the present, between what a scared and confused boy thought he knew about the power of a fathers flawed love and what he still had to learn. In a city -- and all by himself.
