A collection of short stories that are fictional, autobiographical, and semi-autobiographical taken from Mr. Beebe's Midwestern life of growing up gay in an affluent North Shore suburb of Illinois, as well as stories taken from his life in Milwaukee as an adult, where throughout his life, he battled drug addiction, sex addiction and alcoholism beginning at thirteen, nicotine addiction beginning at eight, family turmoil, universal scholastic bullying, the revelation of contracting the HIV virus sometime before turning 23, low self esteem, numerous stepparents, feelings of inadequacies and lacking a place to belong. All so that he could get the one thing that he wanted out of life, from the time that he was five years old: a white picket fence with a big red bow on top, that place where he would finally, finally find true, painful, devastating, joyous, mountainous, soaring, searing, drum-tight love. Mr. Beebe's lifelong passion for music in spite of severe hearing loss after an illness at eighteen months of age left him almost for dead is the inspiration for the poetry included in this collection, which he likes to think of as song lyrics. Just don't ask him to sing them for you. Your canine companions will thank you for that.
