Push and Pull Diane Rivoli

Thirty-five-year-old Jay Hendershott was tall and handsome, with a football player's build, a quick wit, and an easy smile. He was a successful photographer, a caring father to his teenage daughter, a thoughtful neighbor, and a helpful friend. Jay was happy and at peace with himself and with his life. And even more importantly, ushering in and adding to this happiness, Jay Hendershott was a man in love. Together, in a three-bedroom ranch on a tree-lined suburban street, Jay and his daughter and the one that he loved lived as one happy family - A perfect picture, if perfection was something that truly existed. But life is too complicated for perfection. And love can bring as much confusion and heartache as it brings joy - especially if you are a man in love with another man. How being gay effects Jay and those around him is at the core of Push and Pull. Author Diane Rivoli brings to life a cast of compelling and relatable characters; each facing their own personal struggle, entwined for better or worse with the others; each trying to find the answers to make life and love work.
