"Any Way the Wind Blows" brings back characters from Harris' previous novel "Not A Day Goes By": John Basil Henderson is a good-looking former NFL player, who is now successfully running an agency for young athletes. He also left Broadway star Yancey Braxton at the altar a year before, confessing to her that he wasn't sure of his sexual orientation. Since then Basil has maintained a stream of lovers, both women and men, abandoning all thoughts of family life.
But suddenly Yancey appears again on Basil's radar. Now an up-and-coming recording star, Yancey's latest hit takes aim at bisexual male lovers, and of course her fans and the press want to know if she's singing about a real-life experience ...
