So, I've read Brother's Keeper (but it's been awhile) and I'm reading Keeping it Together, but I'm confused. Can someone tell me what has caused the rift between Brian and Michael? It has something to do with Gus and I just can't figure out what I've missed.

I went back and skimmed Brother's Keeper but can't find it. So, am I missing a story between the two or do I just not remember Brother's Keeper right?

ANSWER FOUND!! Thanks to everyone that helped out.

I believe it went something like this...
Michael is spending more time in Toronto visiting the kids and tells Gus that when his Dad lets him down and stops coming to see him b/c he is too busy w/ Justin that he - Michael - will take care of him.
But kids being kids, Gus runs away to find Brian and winds up taking the bus by himself. He's alright, but Brian can't forgive Michael for putting Gus in danger, and for basically trying to use Gus as a pawn against Justin.
The series is Brother's Keeper, Keeping it Together, Safe Keeping, Keeping Touch, and Keeping Time.
Just finished Keeping Touch myself.

Chapter nine of Keeping It Together has Brian thinking about the incident then having a flashback.

The explanation for the rift doesn't come until later in the story. Just keep reading and you'll get there.

I am rereading this series, too! The Brian and Justin voices are perfect.
