James's Following the Kaehee's drew me in. This coming-of-age gay narrative is filled with sensitivity and warmth. L.C. Hayden author of Who's Susan? and What others Know Inspired by actual events. Following the Kaehee's is an emotionally-raw and lyrical narrative exploring the turbulant and awkward time of life when high school is over and real life has yet to begin. For Michael and Kelly this point of life is especially harsh. Their friendship having ended in their first year of high school, Kelly becoming popular while Michael was left as a target to the school's homophobia. But upon graduation they are brought together by the story of Joan and Gordon Kaehee; an elderly couple that had vanished one day and set off a nation-wide frenzy. Armed with their unrelenting curiousity to learn the truth. Kelly and Michael set off on a road trip that leads them to more than just the facts about the Kaehee's...it leads them to each other and themselves.
