Aaron's Year of '77
A Story in Twelve Parts
by J Francis Grice

---

Aaron’s Year of ’77 is an erotic romance novel that tells of the year that Aaron, a young gay man from Brockville, Ontario, Canada came of age. Set deep in the disco era, the story unfolds to follow naive young Aaron over the first twelve months of his romance with Adam, a virile, older, complex man from Aaron’s hometown. From navigating his first serious relationship, to seeking the support of his conservative parents, to moving in together with Adam, this romance is focused on the love, intimacy, and growth of its central characters. J Francis Grice explores the themes of staying together when one partner leaves for College, homophobia, jealousy, and surviving personal crises. The result is an enthralling snapshot of what it took to nurture and sustain a gay male relationship in a time of uninhibited sex and rampant political and social anti-gay sentiment.
