Here it is:

---

1989. A farm outside Sycamore, Illinois. Tony Keating is almost fourteen, invisible, and just beginning to understand why.

When Jake moves in down the road, everything changes. What happens between them that spring and summer is first love in its truest form — tentative, electric, overwhelming. It is also, in rural Illinois, deeply dangerous.

When the wrong people find out, Tony loses everything. Forced out and sent to a boys' home in Chicago, he has to figure out who he is when the life he knew is gone — navigating the city, the men who use him, and the rare ones who don't, against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis.

A coming-of-age novel about first love, forced exile, and the long road back to yourself.

A We Are Not Saints Novel.
