Meet Marty McKenna . . . . Angry, wickedly profane, stubborn as a mule . . . and gay . . . He's a small-town boy living in an eastern Oregon community, fighting anyone who gets in his way, while strugggling to make his way in an area which hasn't been very kind to him. If Marty likes you, he'll gladly give you the shirt off his back. If he don't like you, the best you can expect is a damned good cussin'. The worst is a fist to your mouth, an elbow to your ribs, or a foot to your tail. The point is, Marty ain't afraid to fight . . . The problem is, Marty loves to fight . . . And fighting gets Marty into trouble. On one crucial day in Marty McKenna's life, the angry, profane, stubborn boy faces a new challenge . . . Growing up!
