For those of you who haven't read Common Sons, here's a quick synopsis.
Joel's rural life of high school and farming in Common, New Mexico, is changed forever when Tom comes to town. The son of a preacher, Tom reaches out to Joel in friendship, and their bond to each other becomes as tight as brothers. Joel's openness to his own feelings and acceptance of himself (a healthy trait instilled by his loving parents) allows him to explore some new and confusing feelings he has for Tom. His confusion clears, however, after a reckless drinking bout ends with a very public kiss from Tom. But Tom's torment of sin and self-incrimination are far from over. Common Sons, the first in a series entitled "Common Threads in the Life," is a moving tale of self-discovery, love, and finding the courage to come out and come to grips with the truth in the face of hatred and adversity.
In addition to the best-selling Common Threads in the Life Series, Ronald L. Donaghe is published in several anthologies. His new series, The Continuing Journals of Will Barnett, is comprised of three books: Uncle Sean, Lance and All Over Him. Donaghe is also the author of two autobiographical works, including a collection of essays entitled Letters in Search of Love and a full-length autobiography about being openly gay in the United States Air Force during the waning days of the Vietnam War, My Year of Living Heterosexually.
