  of age in Georgia..\nhttps://pgcmls.libnet.info/event/8068505
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Fueled by tomato sandwiches and green milk
 shakes\, and obsessed with cars\, Philbet struggles with life and love as 
 a gay\, physically-misshapen boy in rural Georgia.&nbsp\;<br />He&rsquo\;s
  happiest when helping Grandaddy dig potatoes from the vegetable garden th
 at connects their houses. But Philbet&rsquo\;s world is shattered and his 
 resilience shaken by events that crush his innocence and sense of security
 \; expose his physical deformity skillfully hidden behind shirts Mama make
 s for him at home on her Singer\; and convince him that he&rsquo\;s not fi
 t to be loved by Knox\, the older boy he idolizes to distraction. Over tim
 e\, Philbet finds refuge in unexpected places and inner strength in unexpe
 cted ways\, leading to a resolution from beyond the grave.</p>\n<p><strong
 >Jeffrey Dale Lofton</strong> hails from Warm Springs\, Georgia\, best kno
 wn for Roosevelt&rsquo\;s Little White House. He calls the nation&rsquo\;s
  capital home now\, where early on he spent many a night acting on the sta
 ges of DC&rsquo\;s theaters and performing arts centers. He even scored a 
 few television appearances\, including a Super Bowl halftime commercial\, 
 which his accountant wisecracked &ldquo\;Is the finest work of your career
 .&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>When he stepped away from acting for other\, more tradit
 ional employment (much to his parents&rsquo\; delight and relief)\, he als
 o focused on pursuing post-graduate work\, ultimately being awarded Master
 &rsquo\;s degrees in both Public Administration and Library and Informatio
 n Science. Today\, he is a senior advisor at the Library of Congress\, sur
 rounded by books and people who love books&mdash\;in short\, paradise.</p>
