Summary
Against his will and his nature, the hulking Gordon Rankin ("Rank") is cast as an enforcer - by his classmates, his hockey coaches, and especially his own father, Gordon Senior. When tragedy strikes, Rank disappears, but almost twenty years later… he discovers that an old, trusted friend - the only person to whom he has ever confessed his sins - has published a novel mirroring Rank's life. The betrayal cuts to the heart, and Rank will finally have to confront the tragic true story from which he's spent his whole life running away. Some descriptions of violence, some descriptions of sex and explicit strong language. c2011.
