Book Review Home Sweet Home by Stephen R. Moore IUniverse ISBN: 978-0-595-43239-4 2007 202 pages Review by Mountman/Joe Stephen has done it again with his second book, “Home Sweet Home”! I was so enthralled with his new cast of characters and the situations they were dealing with that I was over half way through the book when I realized that “Home Sweet Home” was a sequel to Stephen’s first book, “Dancing in the Arms of Orion”. (I don’t read the back covers until I’ve read the book.) “Home Sweet Home” is the story of Caden Cahill, a gay 17 year old that is living a life of hell. His Mother has died from AIDS, whom she got from his father. Who, by the way, is a very abusive and homophobic drunk. Caden never knows what it will be like at home when his father gets home. |
Caden lives a life of sex and drugs to escape the hell he is forced to live. Enter Logan. Logan works at a club stripping. As they say, ‘it’s love at first sight’. Logan takes Caden home one night and that’s where Logan’s mother comes in. She’s cool, and unlike Caden’s home, Caden feels relaxed and comfortable right away.
I don’t want to give too much of the story away. But, I will tell you that through a turn of events, Logan and Caden travel to Orion’s Arms, a residence/center that helps Gay youth that was set up by our friends from “Dancing in the Arms of Orion”.
By the time you finish “Home Sweet Home”, you find out that the generations are connected in more ways then one.
I say that Stephen has another winner in “Home Sweet Home”!
