About the Book

Khantai Bokeo was born a halfbreed in Laos during the Vietnam War. He escaped with the nuns from Laos to Thailand, where he was sexually abused by the priest in charge of the Thai camp for the church. During a painful sexual encounter with the priest, he stabbed and killed Father Mark, and was secreted out of Thailand to Boston where he grew old enough to finally escape the cloistered prison. Khantai, warped by the hidden society, became a gigolo of wealthy gay men and used his body and handsome Amerasian face to destroy his many lovers. The Lesbian nuns who raised him tried to save him from self-destruction, but Khan seemed destined to travel the dark path.
