In Search of Pretty Young Black Men by Stanley Bennett Clay
This is the tale of Dorian Moore, a mysterious young man who provides comfort to the moneyed, the neglected, the lonely and the lost members of a black, upper-middle class hilltop community of Southern California. Maggie Lester Allegro, disillusioned by a cold, loveless marriage, finds sexual healing in Dorian's arms. She ultimately discovers why this pretty young black man has a striking resemblance to the long dead love of her life. And, when she does, life in her small but privileged circle will never be the same.
