description: To climb the water tower, to dive off the bridge into the Santeetlah River, Chad McClain is unrivaled in his tough country-boy antics. Growing up in a small North Carolina town, Chad at eighteen is coming to grips with the fact that perhaps his future will not include college. That his horizons will not be stretching any farther than the same small-town streets and hay fields that he has been around his entire life. This sameness is met with the extraordinary revelation that Chad, the popular ring leader of high school chaos and partying, is gay.Strict social constraints dominate life in the small farming community of Jefferson. Yet Chad is able to find happiness and love in his involvement with a local boy, Tim. Trying to understand his sexual orientation, gain acceptance from his family, and support from his friends, Chad travels down this turbulent road with the gait of a wounded soldier back to fight in the face of overwhelming odds.
