Fathers and Sons: Book 8 in the Beach Reading Series

By Mark Abramson

When Tim Snow comes across a dusty old diary that belonged to his psychic grandmother, he also discovers an unexpected, albeit temporary, aspect of his own paranormal ability.

Meanwhile, a mysteriously familiar-looking handsome young man arrives in San Francisco, looking for his father with his only two clues on a slip of paper - Tim's address on Hancock Street and Arts Restaurant on Castro.

All the favorite characters from the first seven books in the Beach Reading series return in this one, plus a couple of cameo roles by beloved local drag icons Donna Sachet and Sister Roma. Aunt Ruth, as always, tries to keep the peace and solve everyone's problems. Artie longs for a vacation, even while he is still packing them in for his Sunday drag brunch shows at Arts. Tim's longtime boyfriend Nick is expanding his business by buying another greenhouse on the peninsula, south of the city and Tim is finally giving in to Nick's desire to get married.

And a strange man keeps showing up in the area but nobody really knows what he's looking for. During a turbulent time in the world, the Castro neighborhood seems like a safe haven for Tim's chosen family, but even there the effects of a burgeoning fascism in the American government are noticed.

San Francisco Chronicle best-selling author Mark Abramson delivers another sweet and sexy, a little bit scary, and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny tale.
