For Love Of Self

<p>A beautiful young man dancing alone and completely naked at the edge of a pond is not what Spencer Hill expected to see. It's 1987 and he has been assigned a ministerial post in a Unitarian Universalist parish in Assisi Vermont close to the Canadian border-a far cry from his hometown of New York City. So a sky clad wood sprite takes him very much by surprise.</p><p> </p><p>What might have been a ho-hum posting in this remote northern location turns out to be anything but that. The good news: His progressive parish doesn't care that he's gay. The bad news? His attempts to make a goodwill connection with The Forest a nearby Pagan community are consistently rebuffed for reasons he doesn't understand.</p><p> </p><p>As Spencer makes friends and enters into a love affair he begins to explore the fraught relationship he'd had with his late father. And in his efforts to reach out to The Forest he uncovers a dark secret the Assisi townsfolk don't want to talk about. </p>
