Isabel has one rule: no dating. It’s complicated―It’s dangerous―It’s never felt better―to consider breaking that rule for him.

by Amy Lane Veronica RotondoÈ il 1987. I ragazzi indossano camicie rosa della Izod, le ragazze hanno capelli vaporosi e tutti possiedono una scatola del fumo; AIDS è solo una brutta parola che rimbomba dalle città come un temporale. Un adolescente scappato di casa vaga su un lato della strada, a un battito di ciglia dalla disperazione, ed è salvato da un angelo con i capelli lunghi su una Harley. Ma questo è solo l'inizio della loro storia. Josiah Daniels voleva pace, tranquillità e una vita semplice, e l'ha avuta finché non ha salvato Casey dalla fame, dal freddo e dallo sfinimento. Da quel momento la vita di Joe è tutt'altro che semplice e il suo nuovo pupillo naviga un mondo che sta cambiando più rapidamente delle persone che ci vivono. Joe vuole far diventare Casey un adulto felice e produttivo, e ci riesce. Ma anche da grande, Casey non riesce a concepire una vita felice senza Joe. Il problema è far accettare a Joe che il ragazzo che ha allevato è all'improvviso l'uomo che lo vuole. La loro relazione potrebbe morire o cambiare il mondo attorno a loro. Mentre costruiscono una casa, negoziano le nuove regole del crescere assieme e schivano le insidie della vita moderna, Casey impara che l'età adulta è più che il sesso, Joe impara che non ci sono compromessi se si vuole vivere per sempre felici e contenti, e sono entrambi costretti a capire l'unica cosa che un uomo non dovrebbe mai fare: vivere da solo.
