Calico Summary
| "Calico" is something of a breakthrough novel in that it spans a bridge which is only now opening for two-way traffic. The author describes "Calico" as a "western/romance/adventure/mystery with a twist"...the twist being that its cowboy hero/protagonist just happens to be gay. Calico Ramsey finds himself with the responsibility of seeing that two 17 year old orphaned twins from Chicago, Josh and Sarah Howard, get safely from the rail line's end to their aunt in Colorado. But things have begun to go terribly wrong even before the twins arrive, and it doesn't take long for Calico to realize someone does not want him to reach his destination (though how anyone even knows the trio's destination is a mystery to Calico). There is enough action, adventure, and mystery to satisfy both diehard western fans, and even those who don't normally care for the genre. The gently developing romance is non-threatening to those who have lived their lives on the "mainland" side of the bridge, but offers a unique insight into the 10 percent of the population living at the other end of the bridge. |
