Lance The Early Journals of Will Barnett, Book 2 When Lance and Will meet on a windswept ledge on the edge of a desert mountain, neither young man knows the trials by fire they will each face. Lance, the troubled, violet-eyed young man, who has been abused for many years by his stepfather will find the love and support of a family he never had. But most of all the pure love of a man-for life. But he must make a heart-wrenching choice in the end: to embrace that love, or accept the opportunity of a lifetime, which may well mean giving up his chance at love. Will Barnett writes: "So, as I told Uncle Sean, Lance just needs somebody to love him. And that somebody is me."
