Fourteen year-old Will Barnett is stunned speechless one morning when he meets his Uncle Sean and is driven to say, "I never seen such soft, girlish lips on a guy before...I wondered right then how it'd feel to kiss him."

When Lance and Will meet on a windswept ledge on the edge of a desert mountain, neither young man knows the trials they will each face. Lance, the troubled, violet-eyed young man will find the love and support of a family he never had. But more importantly the pure love of a man—for Life. But he must make a heart-wrenching choice: to embrace that love, or take the opportunity of a lifetime, which may well mean giving up his chance at love.
