Plot Summary of Spiral Passage
"Spiral Passage continues the trilogy story that began with Stolen Shadows, and gives candid insight to personal disability issues. Two gay college students are hired as employees to help out at the estate in the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts. But Buddy becomes seriously injured in a campus hate crime that renders him a temporary rehab patient. His coworker, Noah, is still suffering from the emotional scars of a fire that occured three years ago and left him burned over 60% of his body. Michael is newly injured quadriplegic, but it's his attitude that needs to be rehabilitated. David and Cameron are homeless young teens that join the family in need of special attention and a home. They all need unconditional love. Patience, understanding, tears, compassion, hard work, laughter, and romance ... these threads weave the boys and their new parents into an unforgettable family."
Mary King, Resident Scholar
