Struggling to find work as an artist in New York while endeavoring to leave behind his abusive childhood in Nebraska, Seth McKenna falls in love with an alluring older man but finds the relationship challenged by the arrival of his sister Cassie, who harbors her own secrets and plans. A first novel. 15,000 first printing.
Shaking off his hellish adolescence in a nowhere Nebraska town (and leaving a beloved younger sister to fend for herself in the same hostile environment), Seth McKenna escapes to make a new reality for himself as a struggling artist in Manhattan. When he falls hard for Jim Glaser, an alluring older man who is astonished to find in Seth the second love of his life, it seems simpler to gloss over his old life in Drinkwater and the history he used to have. Jim, who expected to remain alone forever, is happy to start over, too, and theirs becomes a tender, sexy romance. Although Seth seems to have successfully put his past behind him to become the man he wants to be - the kind of man Jim can cherish - his childhood rushes back unexpectedly and with a vengeance. When Seth's sister, Cassie, arrives in the city with significant secrets and plans of her own, Drinkwater's intractable demands force Seth to revisit his hidden past. And what Jim learns about Seth's concealment threatens to destroy their new life together. A contemporary drama of family ties both imposed and chosen, What Love Means to You People presents a look at the survival of the human spirit through willful reinvention and the power of love.
