A queer coming-of-age - and coming-to-terms - follows the after-effects of betrayal and poignantly explores the ways we search for home.When a sister's casual act of betrayal awakens their father's demons, ones spawned during his time in prisoner-of-war camps in Vietnam, the effects of the ensuing moment of violence against her brother ripple out over the course of forty years, from Lubbock, to San Francisco, to Fort Lauderdale. Swept up in this arc, the members of their family and those they love tell their tales. A queer coming-of-age and coming-to-terms and a poignant exploration of the ways we search for home, Dreaming Home is a chronicle of the fragmenting of an American family and an exciting debut by Lambda Literary finalist Lucian Childs.
