High school senior Jim Wallace faces
the approaching Christmas holidays with a mixture of hope and dread. This could
be the week he and his girlfriend Liz finally have sex, putting to rest any
lingering doubts Jim has about what kind of guy he really is. But then Pat
Baxter, a neighbor, asks him to help out in his bookstore during the holiday
rush, and Jim starts making new connections - and rediscovering an old one.

fiction," "A revelation about the radiance of friendship and the
true meaning of humanity," "Jim’s self-acceptance is so
beautifully written that I found myself with tears in my eyes."

Book Reviews
"Sharp, focused, super-intense, and special. It's rare to
find a novel with such a beautifully rendered freindship between a young gay
man and an older mentor. I know I'll remember the relationship between Jim and
Pat for a long, long time." Bill
Konigsberg
More than simply another coming out story David writes with such clarity and sensitivity that reading ‘Wallaçonia’ becomes a revelation about the radiance of friendship and the true meaning of humanity in dealing with the needs of others – especially acceptance and understanding. It is a luminous book by a master of his craft. Highly Recommended. Grady Harp, March 17
"Moving and funny. The confusing tumble of coming out gets
a contemporary twist."
