Overview

The height of summer, 1920. Edmund Blessing is back home in northern Ontario with his best friend and lover, David “Dafydd” Evans. With the Great War and its horrors behind them and a year of work helping Edmund’s Aunt Winnie run her ranch under their belt, the two young men are well due for a holiday. So they’re off to Toronto for a week of seeing the sights and enjoying the amusements to be had in the city by the lake.

But things don’t go as smoothly as Edmund planned, or didn’t plan, as the case may be. Disappointing accommodations, an unscrupulous automobile salesman, fun-loving flappers, and a lusty bartender all present challenges, but contribute to a rollicking good time, even if the devoted young men don’t always see it that way.

Before the summer is over they will gain a friend and make a discovery in Toronto with life changing implications for all concerned.
