Description
Discover a compelling novel of innocence, betrayal, redemption and revenge in this re-publishing of Boys of Life. Tony is a young country boy with big dreams who's utterly bored with the tedium of Kentucky life. So it's no wonder he's seduced by the smooth-talking Carlos Reichart, who convinces the young man to run away with him to New York and become his live-in lover and the star of a series of homoerotic films. But when the films start becoming increasingly violent, and Carlos forces him to recruit runaway boys to also appear in the sadomasochistic films, Tony realizes he must escape Carlos' clutches before he winds up dead -- or worse.

The story of seduction and the resulting experiences of a somewhat unconventional teenager. The labyrinthine paths that the protagonist, young Tony Blair, takes lead to adventures that become twisted and very dark. This makes for an interesting and often riveting read.
