Son in Homing Flight

A boy on a bus -- that’s taking him back to the small town and the father he’d run away from. 

“I'm queer,” he’d told his father. More than enough to seal his fate in the house he’d been raised in. 

The city will be better, he’d thought. 

No, not better. After three weeks, definitely not better -- only different. And strange. Strange as the three men he’d met there -- complicated puzzles he hadn’t come within a mile of solving. 

Now, if you can’t solve them -- or the city, either -- where else do you go? But back? 

To what? To square one, was it? 

Son in Homing Flight (a continuation of a story begun in Mr. Frary’s previous book, An Omen in the Bone) is an innovative exploration of the mind of someone in transit: on a two-hours-and-change shuttle between the past and the present, between what a scared and confused boy thought he knew about the power of a father’s flawed love and what he still had to learn. 

In a city -- and all by himself.
