Synopsis

Dewey Cellars arrives in Charleston, South Carolina, in the fall of 1989 to attend college. But he hasn't come seeking a degree; rather, he's come seeking himself through the pursuit of Angel Boy, a privileged, Lowcountry native whose impossible perfection is Dewey's every envy. Against the backdrop of prolific flora, unrelenting heat, even an approaching hurricane, the chase is on through the Holy City, as Dewey ultimately and sometimes painfully discovers that becoming part of the club is a lesson all its own. This Southern coming-of-age story addresses themes and issues of personal identity, class, race, gender and sexuality, among others, appropriate for adolescent readers and up.
