A love story. "My Name Is Verne; His Name Was Clay" is the love story of two men from small, rural towns who came together at a time when it was not easy to be gay. Society frowned on homosexuals, so many relationships were kept in the dark. Jobs could be lost; family members distanced themselves; in certain parts of the country, even dancing together or holding hands could be cause for arrest. In addition, the Aids Crisis meant that simply being with your lover could be a death sentence. Relationships took on a terrible poignancy because no one knew when that horrific illness might strike. However, "My Name Is Verne; His Name Was Clay," is also a story of salvation. Both young men had demons to overcome, and through their love, each saved the other. One showed his partner that he was worthy of love and could end his self-destructive ways. The other gave the gift of freedom, showing that it was okay to live "loud and proud," and seize each day. "My Name Is Verne; His Name Was Clay" is raw, honest, powerful and real. It is a modern story for anyone who has ever loved deeply and long.
