about this book

Frustrated by the lack of love and affection in his life, celebrated gay painter David McMillan returns to his humble beginnings as a waiter where he hopes to find his lost creativity. He finds that more and more in the arms of his married male employer, Matt. Matt inspires David to paint the best pictures of his life. However, the affair forces David to face new realities about himself and his world when he re-examines his long-time friendship with a straight female gossip columnist, and when he watches his transsexual roommate live with being HIV positive.
