Candles in the Window

This volume is a somewhat revised version of the 1999 edition. It is a nostalgic, but more especially a psychological, look and the love/sex lives of college students in the 1950s, set in the University of Connecticut. A small number of students are drawn together by the love of a beautiful, but enigmatic, girl nicknamed "Silky," famous for her golden hair and her theater acting, as well as for her entrancing personality. A counterpoint to the students' story comes in the form a young priest with homosexual urges.
