It's 2021, and the housing crisis has reached Saint John, New Brunswick. At eighty-one, Hank Lowman is forced onto the streets when a developer buys the rooming house where he's been living.
Although most walk by the old man on the bench in King's Square, a few others begin to chat with him. They soon discover he is a brilliant man with a fascinating history in the music industry--and a complicated, painful past. Hank fled New Brunswick long ago to pursue a career as a recording engineer, and to eventually live his truth as a gay man in San Francisco during the time of Harvey Milk's activism and assassination. He has loved and lost partners, risen to giddying heights as a recording engineer only to have the technology change around him, and through it all ached for the daughter he left behind in New Brunswick.
Award-winning author Susan White fills in Hank's life from repressive upbringing, through his growing liberation in San Francisco, and to the terrible fallout after the White Night Riots and Hank's return to New Brunswick in search of his daughter. We meet the people who see Hank as he is--a human who deserves dignity, freedom, and love.
Such A Winter's Day is a moving exploration of human rights and justice, and the lasting power of friendship.
