Grayboy

Grayboy, more or less, is a novel about the nature of good and evil, and the ambiguity therein. The novel's four main characters---Toby Shepard, a thirteen year old New England boy who is undergoing some strange and magnificent changes; Lucien Delacroix, an estranged, ex-priest who has defected to the US Virgin Islands; Kitty, a homicidal and powerful young drifter hell-bent on finding the "dark man" of her dreams; and Mr. Curtis Black, a shadowy and luminous force borne from the turbulent waters of the Pacific Ocean---represent different areas of the spectrum of good and evil. As the novel progresses, however, the lines of this spectrum are blurred, until nothing is left but destruction, loss, and questions of fate, faith, love, and God.
