Publisher Description: Adam Jameson has always felt like an outsider in his own home, where his parents' constant efforts to instill religious fervor have instead filled him with fear. Most of the time, he just wants to stay out of everybody's way. But when Adam is forced to volunteer at a homeless shelter his senior year in high school, everything changes. He's introduced to people who care about more than religion and, as a result, he starts to come out of his shell. For the first time in his life, Adam finds people who he wants to be around. Mickey Stafford lives on the streets, a teen kicked out by his parents for being gay. He comes to the shelter for food and medical care, and after they literally run into each other, the two boys strike up a friendship. As Mickey introduces his new friend to the world he lives in, Adam starts to question everything: his parents, their religion, even his own beliefs. Once Mickey kisses him, Adam starts soul-searching and finds his heart, which is full of love for Mickey. But these two young men will have their love put to the test as they face a future of uncertainty and fear. |
