Who Has Known Heights - Grove Wheston Chancellor
“Had I not been so young I’d never have had the courage to love her.”
So begins the sweeping story of Westcott A. Rowan. With relentless honesty, ingenious humor, and inimitable examination, Who Has Known Heights transcends age and gender, raising the question: Must one live the quiet, conventional life, or is it reasonable—possible—to persist in a richer state of being? Its themes are universal and essential, reminding readers of what is at stake—the rarity of human connection.
Westcott is 22 when he first meets Regn (pronounced Wren). After a tenacious pursuit they fall in love. Westcott holds a secret. Intrigued by his excruciating reserve, Regn seeks to unearth the mystery behind his private exterior. This extraordinary coming of age story—a baptism by fire about a young man’s love affairs—is not what it appears. WHKH presents an argument for what matters most at the end of the day. The ability to show affection—to be present—the recognition of one’s self through another, is supreme. As Regn discovers who he is, Westcott must come to terms with the price of his decisions. In loving him, Regn is confronted with a choice no woman should ever have to make. It is a choice that will forever change the course of their lives.
