"Zach, at forty, had hoped for a romantic fling but gets more than he bargained for when he meets Luna, a boyish young woman who never smiles, who has a passion for roller coasters, and who bluntly offers herself, no strings attached. Put off by her odd looks and manners, even doubting the soundness of her mind, Zach finds himself nevertheless fascinated by her curious integrity, something he lacks. He begins an affair with Luna and meets others whose lives she has touched: an amusement park mogul, an eccentric uncle who fights City Hall with his backhoe, and an acerbic neighbor who provides the clue to Luna's shrouded childhood. Most importantly, Zach faces his own life and learns at great cost that myth can be as vital to existence as reality."--BOOK JACKET.

With Hawks and Angels: Episodes from a Southern Life chronicles the fortunate life of a man born in the Cajun country of Louisiana and his interaction with the three distinct parts of his home state: the swampy, laissez-faire South where he was born, the red clay hills and piney woods of northern Louisiana where his relatives lived, and exotic New Orleans, where he was educated. Author Joel Lafayette Fletcher III examines his childhood on the campus of what is now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette where his father, Joel Lafayette Fletcher Jr., was president for twenty-five years, to his time as a student at Tulane. The book follows Fletcher through his service as a naval officer—when he began to admit to himself, accept, and explore who he really was—to his life in Europe and, eventually, Virginia where he now resides. With Hawks and Angels intimately explores the life of a young man growing up in the racially segregated Deep South while coming to terms with being gay at a time when being out was not socially acceptable. Based on his personal journals and recollections and filled with the unique characters he met along the way, With Hawks and Angels is the culmination of writing that, for Fletcher, was a way of holding onto an important part of his true self that for many years he felt compelled to hide.
