Items related to No One in the World: A Novel
From bestselling authors E. Lynn Harris and RM Johnson, the evocative story of twin brothers—one a straight man, the other gay—who find each other in adulthood and struggle to uncover many questions about themselves and one another, while also becoming entangled in a plot thick with deceit and suspense.
A spirited and tender novel, No One in the World focuses on two seemingly different men—Cobi Winslow, a gay, educated, affluent social climber, and Eric Reed, a straight, career criminal raised in the foster care system—who, separated as young children, reunite upon their parents’ death after thirty years apart.
Their reunion, however, is marred by the crooked plans of Eric’s former cellmate and Cobi’s struggles to raise enough money for his campaign for city council. With corruption, drug deals, and homophobia rearing their ugly heads, the two brothers may face the most difficult test of their relationship. This thought-provoking, honest, and page-turning tale is not to be missed.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. With verve and tenderness, Harris and Johnson write of two men - Cobi Winslow, a gay, educated, affluent social climber and Eric Reed, a straight, career criminal raised in the foster care system - who, separated as young children, reunite upon their parents' death after thirty years apart. With social and economic factors threatening to force them apart again, Cobi and Eric's desire to be a family is tested at every turn. Full of drama and twists, this modern day 'Prince and the Pauper' novel explores the limits of love and loyalty. Cobi Winslow, a well-educated district attorney, finds his life increasingly complicated after he chooses to look up his estranged twin brother, Eric Reed, a career criminal raised in the foster care system, and learns that his inheritance and the security of the family business depends on a condition that betrays Cobi's sexuality.
