  abstract: "Inspired by the 1984 murder of Charles Howard in Maine and the events that took place in the town and in the gay and lesbian communities after the crime, Ceremonies is a large and disturbing account of the transformational power of a horrific act of violence. Howard, who drowned after he was chased, beaten and thrown from a bridge, was the victim of homophobic teenagers. His murder and its effect on the town became a national story. Cathcard was living in Maine at that time and was a friend of Charles Howard. In the novel, the story develops through the voices of persons most affected by the murder - some of whom are surprised by the depth of their anger, the range of their self-examination and their need for action. The insensitivity of the townsfolk to what had happened - even their inability to comprehend what had happened - further tears the community apart."--Page 4 of cover.
