Suddenly they are a family, and life for Hal begins to shine again. Against this happiness comes the formidable Denise, owner and absolute ruler of a French restaurant where Hal works.

Then theres Norman the restaurant reviewer, addicted to turquoise jewelry; and youll met the ever patient Roger and his partner Ken; Dan who is the worst cook in town who thinks he is the best, and then Carl who cant make up his mind about whether he likes men or women.

Laguna Beach, 1973. Hal's life as a liberated gay men has not gone all that well, and after a devastating relationship, he sees nothing but gloom, hard work and abuse from his restaurant job. He wallows in self-pity in the darkened rooms of his house, and only reluctantly rents out the spare room to the ebullient Mike whose sunny disposition brings Hal up out of despair. When Mike meets Tom who moves in too, Hal gratefully feels almost like a parent, as if he has a family to care for. Then he meets Simon with whom he falls in love after a steamy, erotic night together, and that phenomenon of gay life, the gay family, becomes a reality. Even the selfish and cruel Denise, owner of the restaurant where they all work, has little effect on their life together, but it is not a life without issues. Who is the Lurker spying on their house? Will Eric's plan to snatch Jean-Jacques' restaurant succeed? Can Carl finally figure out his sexuality? Can Norman keep his housewarming party a secret from Dan and why would he want to? Find out who next will drop into the warm and hospitable House on Shadow Lane for a breakfast chat, good food, and genuine friendship. REVIEW of The House on Shadow Lane: Peopled with such interesting and varied characters, the plot of The House on Shadow Lane required a skillful hand to keep events moving at its almost frantic pace while remaining believable. As Robert Heylmun weaves the lives of his characters into the nap of his plot, their connections produce the complicated, even twisted, events that make the novel so intriguing. How, the reader wonders, will the romance developing between Hal and Simon survive the challenges they face? How will Carl, who is "in love two people of different genders" decide? While readers have likely never know such characters or situations, the author s ingenious interplay cements the reader s interest. As a result, readers will likely share on finishing The House on Shadow Lane, a "joyful sense of loss" that paradox.

Hal’s life is less than happy. His last lover having left him owing a lot of debts, Hal works at a restaurant for a tyrant of a woman whose laughable taste renders her colorful but formidable. He needs the job to get through graduate school, and he learns how to deal with her nearly intolerable bullying . His solace is that he rents the house on Shadow Lane which at first provides him a merely a refuge where he can wallow in his despair, but with the arrival of Tom and Mike to whom he rents the spare room, the house becomes a real home where he finds joy and love. He meets and falls in love with Simon, and they begin life together. His eccentric friends drop by from time to time, generally for breakfast, the venue where the residents of the house discuss everything from who The Lurker might be, an unknown person who sits in a car at night and watches the house, to party planning (how to avoid food by the worst cook in town who thinks he’s one of the best.) There is Norman whose fashion statement to the world includes wearing tons of Navajo turquoise jewelry, a would-be thief and his surprising boyfriend, and various other people—all come and go through the welcoming doors of the house on Shadow Lane.
