St. Mick: A novel

From Amazon.com reviewer:

"Since I knew the author personally over many years, I would have to verify that almost all of the experiences expressed by the first-person narrator in this riveting tragic tale actually happened to the real "Jack Challenge". This was the author 's only novel. I believe it served him well as a catharsis or self-healing pouring out of just what tragedies were endured in the 1950's by the gay men in society. I am sorry my friend didn't survive long enough to enjoy the freedom that came later. He did, however, leave his own story behind buried well under a pseudonym. Farewell dear friend."
