This classic novel by one of the gay community's most articulate and beloved advocates is finally now back in print, telling the story of young, virile Timothy who finds himself at the crossroads of life. Caught between stagnating in a New England mill town or earning his freedom at the cost of three years of his life, Timothy plunges into a bizarre, seductive world where his master's wish is his command - and where the ties that bind might just lead to true emancipation.
