description: Time in Iraq cost Michael Ritter some of his hearing and a friend whose death he feels responsible for. He'd left Alabama hoping to escape a dull small-town life only to return four years later lugging a duffle full of personal demons. Cookesville Alabama isnt the most welcoming place on earth particularly for a gay Hispanic student wanting nothing more than to earn his degree and get back home to Texas. An image of a somber young man that he knows only by name and the stories told by an adoring sister comes to life when Michael returns home just as Jay is already half-way to losing his heart.Michaels biggest battle lies ahead and hell need all the help he can get to find his way in a world where he no longer fits in. Jays not sure where he fits either but it could be next to the war-torn soldier who needs his strength.***Proceeds from Amazon sales are being donated to PFLAG.
