David Goes Home is a mystery novel and a
semiautobiographical memoir
about growing up gay in the Dust Bowl during the Great
Depression. The wit, pathos and intellect of the young, gay minister,
David Ward, in
David Goes Home, is revealed in the mystery and
nightmarish search for
the murderer of his hometown sheriff in the Dust Bowl of
Oklahoma which
has haunted him in recurring dreams. David’s love for
men, self-doubt,
fear of being outed, and the struggle against the
religious right of his
upbringing are examined in this powerfully written book. Returning home for his mother’s funeral, and during this
spiritual quest
and journey to self-acceptance, David stumbles across
clues about the
sheriff’s murder and discovers that many of the people he
had so feared
growing up had far more to hide than he did. In this powerfully written book, one can almost hear the
wind and taste
the sandstorm grit.
