A story of Black queer history, love, loss, and learning to stay in the moment before it passes you by. Weeks ago, Andre Cobb received a much-needed liver transplant. He's ready for his life to finally begin, until one night, when he passes out and wakes up somewhere totally unexpected...in 1969, where he connects with a magnetic boy named Michael. And then, just as suddenly as he arrived, he slips back to present-day Boston, where the family of his donor is waiting to explain that his new liver came with a side effect—the ability to time travel. And they've tasked their youngest son, Blake, with teaching Andre how to use his unexpected new gift. Andre splits his time bouncing between the past and future. Between Michael and Blake. Michael is everything Andre wishes he could be, and Blake, still reeling from the death of his brother, Andre's donor, keeps him at arm's length despite their obvious attraction to each other. Torn between two boys, one in the past and one in the present, Andre has to figure out where he belongs—and more importantly who he wants to be—before the consequences of jumping in time catch up to him and change his future for good.

Download or read book The Land of Long Ago written by Eliza Calvert Hall and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Eliza Calvert Hall's 'The Land of Long Ago,' readers are transported to a bygone era through vivid storytelling and nostalgic reflections. The book is a collection of heartwarming and poignant tales that capture the essence of rural life in the American South during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Hall's lyrical prose and attention to detail create a rich literary tapestry that immerses readers in a world of simplicity and tradition. The book's historical context sheds light on a fading way of life, making it a valuable resource for those interested in Southern literature and culture. Each story is a glimpse into a world that is both familiar yet distant, leaving readers with a sense of longing and nostalgia. Eliza Calvert Hall, a Kentucky native, drew inspiration from her own upbringing in rural America to create 'The Land of Long Ago.' Her intimate knowledge of the customs, language, and landscapes of the South imbues the book with authenticity and depth. Hall's passion for preserving the stories and traditions of her region shines through in every page, making her a revered figure in American literature. I highly recommend 'The Land of Long Ago' to anyone interested in exploring the beauty and complexity of Southern life. Eliza Calvert Hall's poignant tales offer a captivating glimpse into a world that has since vanished, yet continues to resonate with readers today.
