Freaks and Revelations by Davida Wills Hurwin

It seems that every book I have chosen lately tackles some serious issues. This particular book follows two young men through the 1970s leading up to the time their paths cross in the early 1980s. Doug is a punk rock neo-Nazi who sees violence as a way of life. Jason is a gay teen thrown out of his house and living on the street. Neither has an easy path or supportive family.


The thread that holds their stories together is the question of how they will meet. For each chapter all we know is how much time it is 'before.'


This is based on a true story of Timothy Zeal and Matthew Boger who now give presentations about the experiences.
