Buster was born at a brothel in a turn-of-the-nineteenth-century lumber boom town on the Pacific Northwest Coast. He was expected to fare no better than his mother, and follow in her footsteps. You can share in his adventures and narrow escapes as he dodges the lure of the world's oldest profession, and creates a life of safe contentment in the arms of the man he loves. Follow Buster, the Milltown Shed Boy, as he grows up and grows strong in his conviction to take the high road in all matters. Buster turns away any gentleman callers, and follows the advice of fellow shed boys to secure a better life himself, and to watch over his long lost sister, Emilia. Meet Buster's peers and mentors, the other rent boys, hustlers, and victims forced by circumstances into survival sex. There is Billy, the cook, who lost his partner and his health to the dangers of logging. Anthony, with high- brow tastes is adopted by his wealthy paramour.

Tom is his roommate, straight from a past of survival in the woods and camps. Ms. Lilly, the house madam, watches over him with caution and conscience. Sam and Bud, engineers at the mill, give guidance and example of long term love. Loosely based on the lost history of Gay life hidden in the old Pacific Northwest, you can peek behind the brothel curtains and bordello windows, and look out back to the sheds, where the oldest profession among men was alive and thriving.
