by J. Tomas
Sixteen-year-old Jacob Smithson has a temper. He's
picked on because he likes boys, and fighting gets him kicked out of
public school. As a last resort, his parents place him in St. Thomas
Aquinas Catholic Boarding School for Boys.
At his
first mass at St. Thomas he sees Avery Dendritch, a senior who serves
as altar boy during the service. When they meet, the attraction between
them is hard to deny. The two become fast friends, and as the school
year progresses, their friendship deepens until Jacob feels he's found
a place where he belongs.
But
the other students gossip about their growing relationship. Avery can
ignore them; Jacob can't. As the rumors and slurs start up again, can
he curb his temper, or will his fighting get him expelled from
St. Thomas, too?
