A poignant and heartfelt debut novel about love, loss, friendship,
and sexual identity.
In the summer before his senior year of high school, Daniel
Peterson packs his belongings and youthful memories as he takes in
the comforts of his childhood home one last time. His apprehension
about the family move and his anxiety about losing friends and
attending a new school overwhelm him. He has no idea just how
dramatically his world will change.
Once settled in Whalers Cove, Daniel finds fast friendships and
romantic possibilities. He begins his senior year with optimism and
the support of his new pals. During the school year, Daniel's best
friends must overcome unexpected obstacles. Seeking the solitude of
a nearby park, he grapples with his own hidden desires and his need
to be himself, until a shocking announcement sets Daniel on a path
of self-discovery where he risks losing everything. *****
"As I turned the pages of "Dancing in the Arms of Orion" I was
fascinated, thrilled, terrified, and finally walking on air. It's a
beautiful story that I'll want to read again and again."
Mark A. Roeder, author of the series, "Gay Youth Chronicles"
"Stephen R. Moore's debut novel, "Dancing in the Arms of Orion,
" is a solid work of fiction in the tradition of --Mark Roeder's
"Gay Youth Chronicles. " Told from the narrative point of view of
high schooler Daniel Peterson as he comes out to himself, his
family, and his friends, the author has managed nicely to create a
multidimensional character with internal conflicts, personality
traits, and a voice that rings true throughout the book. Secondary
characters also ring true, which is saying a great deal about
Moore's potential as a writer. A good first effort."
--Ronald L. Donaghe, author of the series, "The Continuing
Journals of Will Barnett"
