to write a book. Seventeen-year-old
Trevor dreads the thought of penning a novel, and never imagines all he will
discover about his father when he finally settles on a plot revolving around
Johnny’s experiences with Evan Crammer.
After conducting hours of interviews with those people directly involved
in the two times Johnny encountered Crammer, and after hours of research and
months of writing, Trevor discovers that his book is missing a very important
section – the reason why Johnny moved so abruptly from Los Angeles to Colorado
in 1985, and why John Gage and Roy DeSoto lost contact with one another for
fifteen years after that move. Dogged
determination on Trevor’s part uncovers the answers to those questions, much to
Johnny’s anger. It’s Trevor’s turn to be angry when Johnny makes a man-to-man
request of his son to stop writing the book. From there, a chain of events
occurs that leaves Trevor devastated and blaming himself for the death of
someone who means a lot to him, and means a lot to his father. It takes the arrival of Johnny’s old friend
Roy DeSoto to open the lines of communication between Johnny and Trevor, that
in turn, will lead the way to a solid father and son bond that will last a
lifetime. Portrait of a Friendship
is posted in eight parts of approximately 50 pages each for ease of
