In Host of Memories: Tales of Inevitable Happenstance, Peter Rupert Lighte crafts a collection
of personal anecdotes into a loving and quirky history that reveals how powerfully his present
has been shaped by the richness of his past. It tells the story of a Jewish boy learning to
embrace his sexuality. Simultaneously it renders the adventures of an awkward "only child"
who, raised by a fragile mother, eventually lives in multiple cultures; finds his future husband,
a distinguished English composer; and goes on to create a life of his own in Princeton, New
Jersey, complete with two adopted Chinese daughters, a mutt from Beijing, and a newfound
sense of belonging.
