Sticky Kisses

Critically acclaimed author Greg Johnson delves deeply into the complex and irrevocable ties of family life in this new novel. An unexpected phone call from her estranged brother, Thom, wrenches Abby Sandler away from her staid life as a teacher in Philadelphia and unofficial companion to their widowed mother and sends her back to Atlanta where they both grew up and Thom still lives. She finds Thom, newly diagnosed as HIV-positive, grappling with the loss of his lover and is, herself, plunged into a passionate love affair. A compelling and poignant look at family life.
