"The boys and men you'll meet in This Thing Called Courage are doing their best to come to grips with being gay in a heavily Irish-Catholic working-class community. In a place known for its fierce loyalty to "our own" and a strong, traditional religious ethic, they are caught in the crossfire of traditional values, Irish tragedy, and the inevitable intrusion of diversity. The result of this lethal mix is occasionally comic, often tragic, sometimes redemptive and sometimes disastrous, but always compelling." --Book Jacket.
