A young gay man is beaten, stripped naked, and thrown in a river where he drowns. His friends gather. They tell who they are, remember him, and organize and form an LGBTQ coalition and fight to make things right. They remember how it has been in intimate detail, telling each other and using the media. They form a community. This is a big novel, answering the question, How was it for you there? when your friend was beaten and drowned. It is liberating and deeply moving. This book looks at the effects of the violence against LGBTQ persons during the last sixty years and at how they discover within themselves the resources necessary to their lives. It shows how it felt to know a person who was murdered.
