Two Mormon missionaries knocking on doors in New Orleans come upon a gay couple who help them unleash their repressed sexuality, leading them to begin a clandestine love affair carried out in the back rooms of gay bars and French Quarter bathhouses.
Knowing that excommunication means abandonment by family and friends, they race to save money by posing nude and dancing in stripper bars before they are discovered. Still intent on "serving" as missionaries, they take up escorting to give others their all.
But when disaster strikes, they must resolve their most challenging crisis of faith yet--can they be true to each other while leading a life of sexual service to their fellow man?

Описание: It`s 1981, and two Mormon missionaries randomly assigned to work together as "companions" in Napoli find themselves in trouble. They`re falling in love, but the Church forbids gay relationships. Will they be crushed by dedication to their beliefs, or will love provide a way for them to escape?
Raised to expect "the apocalypse" during his lifetime, author Johnny Townsend tackles the serious issues of our day using both his Mormon background and his secular humanist beliefs.
The only way to successfully deal with a global pandemic, or public health under any conditions, is to move to a system of universal healthcare. Additional ingredients for dismantling structural and institutional racism include ensuring tuition-free college and vocational training, universal taxpayer-funded childcare and pre-k education, fare-free public transportation, automatic voter registration, elimination of the Electoral College, ranked choice voting, plus nationwide vote-by-mail as well as in-person voting. If we are to improve the health of our citizens and our nation, we must reduce the extraordinary amount we spend on the military and police, and demand that the ultra-wealthy and corporations pay their fair share toward the public good.
Such policy changes are also essential if we wish to mitigate the worst effects of climate change, a global catastrophe that will impact virtually every person on the planet.
Townsend's essays show us that while societal progress is always hindered by inertia, the multiple crises we're facing provide us an opportunity to move forward.

Two Mormon missionaries in Italy discover they share the same rare ability-both can emit pheromones on demand. At first, they playfully compete in the hills of Frascati to see who can tempt "investigators" most. But soon they're targeting each other non-stop.
Can two immature young men learn to control their "superpower" to live a normal life...and develop genuine love? Even as their relationship is threatened by the attentions of another man?
They seem just on the verge of success when a massive earthquake leaves them trapped under the rubble of their apartment in Castellammare.
With night falling and temperatures dropping, can they dig themselves out in time to save themselves? And will their injuries destroy the ability that brought them together in the first place?
We don't need "affordable" healthcare. We need universal healthcare. We don't need "access" to education. We need tuition-free college and vocational training.
In these essays, Johnny Townsend erases the weasel words and gets right to the point. The only way any of us can live in a safe, healthy society is if we all do. Every worker needs a living wage. But more than that, we need a thriving wage, and Universal Basic Income is a practical starting point.
It's not enough to give coal miners and oilfield workers "good" pay. They also need jobs that promote the health of their communities and the rest of the country. Since we have no choice but to transition away from fossil fuels, we must provide both training and new work opportunities for those who will be displaced as we confront an ever-worsening climate crisis.
Pursuing gender and racial equality, LGBTQ rights, the elimination of for-profit prisons, the separation of church and state, and making peace more profitable than war form the core of any successful strategy for success.
In a world already plagued by the effects of late-stage capitalism--economic inequality, voter suppression, healthcare inequality, racial injustice, and an escalating climate crisis--how do we continue fighting for meaningful progress in the middle of a pandemic?
These essays and op-eds from the Salt Lake Tribune, the Seattle Times, and LA Progressive show us that unity can be divisive, morality can be immoral, and facts can be fabricated. But no one ever said fighting against manipulation and willful ignorance was easy.
In this collection, author Johnny Townsend offers encouragement and insight gained from his own experience as a climate crisis refugee and human rights activist.
Johnny Townsend, author of award-winning literary fiction, whose op-eds have appeared in major newspapers across the country, gives us his most eclectic collection yet. Stories of trans and gay Mormons balancing their spiritual and temporal lives. Essays on gun reform, universal healthcare, climate change, and the separation of church and state. Concluding with a handful--and mouthful--of erotic tales based on his experiences in a French Quarter gay bookstore and as a young missionary in Italy. A thought-provoking yet fun glimpse into the mind and life of a gay ex-Mormon atheist working to unify the disparate components of life.
