Rainbow Plantation Blues

When he tours the plantation grounds for the first time in years, he sees that his boyhood playmate, a slave named Kumi, has matured into a black Adonis. Jonathan is instantly captivated. Now he is convinced he is a sodomite, and even worse, he is hopelessly smitten over a slave.

As he grapples with his sexual proclivity and the "peculiar institution," he befriends Steven Wentworth, a social non-conformist living an esoteric lifestyle, who has a deep, hidden connection to him. Under Steven's progressive influence, and from another unlikely source - the Bible - Jonathan is able to unravel his demons and triumph in the end.

This novel should be of interest to Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered people, and to progressives of all colors, to history buffs, religious scholars, Feminists, and civil-libertarians.
