In Did You Ever See A Horse Go By? new author Frank DeFrancesco invites the reader into his personal tug-of-war and ultimate triumph over the psychological and sociological restraints that immobilized him for half a lifetime.
The author uses biographical events, old letters, unpolished poetry, and excerpts from his journals along with a few fictional composites to recreate memories and moods.
DeFrancesco pokes fun at his own naiveté, self-doubts, and Catholic guilt, as well as clueless therapists, Rome adventures, Woodstock, discos, and “dead Bob” to weave a compelling story that balances seriousness and sadness with humor and joy.
“While I’m not sure the world really needs another coming out story,” DeFrancesco says, “I feel deeply the need to tell it.”
