New Author
Heart-wrenching yet heart-warming, simple yet complex, quick read yet lingers with you long after the book is closed.
In the midst of a devastating flood in a small Tennessee town, the local preacher is touched by the kindness of two gay men. This experience changes is entire way of thinking that puts him in contrast with his church and his wife; and puts his son in the middle of a nasty custody battle. Confronted with a biased judicial system, he takes his son and flees to Key West, the southernmost point of the U.S. to seek out his brother whom he turned against years ago when his brother came out.
A story that asks you to evaluate your beliefs. Are you judging others under the guise of your belief system? What do you do when your beliefs are questioned or challenged? Are your beliefs static or do they evolve based on new connections and new experiences in your life?

"Justin's not the problem...This world is. Nobody can just let a person be."

"He has gotten to the point where he can hardly enjoy anything without morning its loss while it is happening."
