Beautifully written and engaging coming of adulthood story. I found the prose captivating as I read through Stehen's life from the age of seventeen to about twenty seven years of age.  This is a very character driven plot with a single point of view of Stephen.  His progression from his last year of high school into manhood and his relationships with family, friends, and lovers was simple but elegantly satisfying.
