A Perfect Peace is a story about gay men at war, both a shooting war and the struggle for dignity in a homophobic society. It is set in Britain and France in WWII and is a very realistic depiction of the horrors and grotesque conditions of the battlefield. One can almost hear and smell the gunfire.

The book's gay protagonist, Bobby Joe Keyes, is a 19-year-old from rural East Texas. He meets another soldier, Tony James, in training for the Normandy Invasion and the two develop a deep friendship, which Bobby Joe at first does not understand, but he comes to realize that wat he feels for Tony is love. Tony is wounded and the two are separated. In his quest to be reunited with Tony, conflict with a hostile fellow soldier and the war draws Bobby Joe into a series of lies, deceptions and sexual misadventures. After the D-Day invasion, Bobby Joe who has been wounded in battle, and finally finds his friend, but when they meet again, Tony is unwilling to resume their relationship. The story ends with an unexpected resolution.

The story shows how, with courage and confidence in their own worth, gay men and women can find peace for themselves in a hostile world filled with conflict.
