    The Philadelphia Art Alliance is pleased to announce a series of readings and book signings this fall! The first of these events will bring local author Lynn Miller to PAA to share his first novel, Crossing the Line. About the novel: When Owen Gilroy sets out to help his adolescent grandson, Sam, come to terms with his sexuality, he is forced to examine his own life by exploring that of--and solving a mystery about--their ancestor, Hiram Milhouse, a leading 19th-century scientist. Owen's discoveries are triggered when he and his partner Brock buy an old house in Philadelphia which once was Hiram's. Owen is soon tested by an affair that threatens his household and nearly destroys his effort to help Sam. His journey into the past, like his struggle to guide, then rescue, his grandson, reveals much about the changing shape of gay life in America today. About the Author: Lynn Miller is a professor emeritus of Politcal Science at Temple University. He is the author or co-author of six non-fiction book, whose subjects range from international politics and world order to university governance and the influence of France and the French in Philadelphia.
