Just Outside of Hope: Sequel to Road Without End

Ron Kearse writes complicated tales. Do not set your heart on any one person until the very end of one story and even then hit the pause button. Whew! This is a drama filled story. There is family complications due to prejudice against homosexuality. Then add in the “in closet” mindset of the early 1980's and life was very different than it is now and acceptance is still difficult. Kearse places one person in the military and then introduces a completely different situation than Jim's.

The abuse Bert receives I have heard about many times from others. Kearse is matter of fact regarding these circumstances. This abrupt and short sentencing allows you to seperate yourself from the acts themselves.

Just Outside of Hope has an open-road ending. Take a step back in time and enjoy a little “fun”, some drama, and some totes with Hope.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
