Reactions and Reviews
This story is set while Jim is still a soldier, before he goes to Peru, and Blair is 18yrs and about to start college. A series of mishaps sees Blair stranded and penniless across country and unable to get to Arizona to enroll in his course. In desperation he turns to prostitution and is rescued from an ugly situation by Jim. In spite of the circumstances of their meeting and Blair's young age the story manages to be sweet and moving and not at all sleazy.[1]
One of my favorites, too. And, yes, the story does manage "to be sweet and moving and not at all sleazy." :-) I have this one in my Favorites folder.[2]
