"The summertime I turned 16, I taken a guy." With that simple declaration, Nelson Gody commences his storyline of the summertime of 1969 and the occasions that could change his life permanently. Nelson lives with his widower father and his five-year-old sister on their small farm outside Bells Ferry, Mississippi. It's an idyllic world grounded in family and camaraderie, a world packed with farm tasks and sluggish afternoons going swimming in the Wolf River with Frankie, his best friend. Things begin to change when Nelson finds himself falling deeply in love with Mary Alice, the orphan from a children's home who's spending the summertime with his aunt. While working with the mental rollercoaster of first love, Nelson learns the secret his best friend has been harboring (he's homosexual) and almost trashes his life-long camaraderie with Frankie. Just when it seems the two kids have worked everything out, keeping their camaraderie, a inexplicable stranger involves town with an exotic street bike and interjects himself into their world...presenting Frankie the chance to explore his burgeoning sexuality with horrific effects. Capped by the devastation of Hurricane Camille, nobody escapes unscathed from those six weeks in the summertime of '69. Advised with narrative drive that pulls you completely in to the story, A Loss of life on the Wolf can be an uncompromising coming of age tale packed with hard-hitting issues that are tackled head-on with courage; not only by the author, but by the heroes he's created.
