Summary:

"Description: Set in Pittsburgh on the eve of the 2009 G-20 Summit Protests, City of Clans follows Jeremy Starcevic, a first-year community college student struggling with his identity and sexuality, who supports himself by working for a party goods distributor in the heart of the city. Jeremy has recently moved into an apartment with his best friend, which only leads to excessive drinking and acts of self-sabotage that nearly sever the already frayed the relationships with family and friends. As the son of a professional baseball player, Jeremy grew up playing sports and molding himself into a certain type of guy - a type embodied in in his best friend and roommate, the hypermasculine Scott Melloy. But when Scott commits an unthinkable act, Jeremy is forced to acknowledge that the friend he idolized is a sexual predator, and his carefully constructed sense of self crumbles. In the fallout, Jeremy begins a journey of healing and self-reflection that carries him back to his family and his one true friend, Katrina Kovacs, a politically active photography major who opens his eyes to societal issues he's always ignored as the G-20 protests surge across the city. A story of redemption, City of Clans captures the resiliency of the human spirit and explores hidden truths of masculinity, sexuality, and self against the gritty, glimmering backdrop of post-2008 Pittsburgh"-- Provided by publisher.
