By day, Jeremy works for a party goods distributor in the heart of the city and attends classes. By night, he drinks to excess and self-sabotages at the urging of friends. As the son of a professional baseball player, Jeremy grew up playing sports and molding himself into a certain type of guy--a type embodied in Jeremy's best friend and roommate, the hypermasculine Scott Melloy. But when Scott commits an unthinkable act, Jeremy is forced to acknowledge that the friend he idolized is a sexual predator, and his carefully constructed sense of self crumbles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jeremy begins a journey of healing and self-reflection that carries him back to his family and his one true friend, Katrina Kovacs, a photography major who opens his eyes to societal issues he's always ignored. A story of redemption, \u003ci\u003eCity of Clans\u003c\/i\u003e captures the resiliency of the human spirit and explores hidden truths of masculinity, sexuality, and self. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781685970260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Geoff Peck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51445543174325,"sku":"9781685970260","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_cb8b162a-fe58-4807-b9a8-3d82ae55b1ae.jpg?v=1753798909","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/city-of-clans-9781685970260","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
