A Frame of Reference Christmas
You can go home again; you just can't control the price.
It's December 23, 2004. Fired from his NBC-TV situation comedy series amidst a media fueled, national gay sex scandal, Grant Jackson is depressed and emotionally numbed as Christmas approaches.
What's more, le scandale has outed him to the world, including his highly conservative Papa, Mark Jackson.
But ironically, mysteriously, Papa has invited him home for Christmas, insisting that he bring his live-in lover, porn star turned restaurateur, Cameron Cody.
Grant can't help but wonder: Why would Papa extend the invitation, and what awaits in Selma, now that everyone knows that I am gay, a one-time gay adult film actor, and a former prostitute?
So he ponders: Under these circumstances, can I survive being home for the holiday, or will Christmas in Selma, California, be yet one more debacle?

A Joyfully Jay review.
3.75 stars
I’ve been reading and reviewing the Frame of Reference series from the beginning. The stories have their ups and downs, but all in all, they’ve been, well…ok. However, this short story kind of brought it all together, and I was quite satisfied.
A lot happened to Grant once he got to Hollywood. He wanted to be in television and got his wish, but he had some bumps in the road. Then, he had it all, and he lost it all. Throughout, he has had his boyfriend Cam to lean on. They made a great couple. They refer to each other as husbands, even though the timeline is before same sex marriage became law.
I thought Grant and Cam were decent characters, and they had some depth to them. They were sexy and sweet at exactly the right times. Sometimes, they were written in a clunky, awkward way, but I fell a little bit in love with both of them and wanted them to get their HEA.
