  Charting one boy’s search for companionship amidst violence and isolation in the mid-century rural South, with a new foreword from National Book Award winner Justin Torres. 
    
  Nathan’s used to being alone. Drifting from town to town following his salesman father, he seeks solace in his studies when he can’t find understanding in his own home; his father is abusive and an alcoholic and his mother would rather disappear into the background than protect him. 
    
  Enter Roy. The older boy next door might have a girlfriend at school and at church, but there’s no question that they’re drawn to one another, and the two quickly become entangled in a covert relationship. As their relationship intensifies, Roy and Nathan must navigate their fears of being caught and their growing desires for one another. But when Nathan’s dad begins to suspect Nathan and Roy’s relationship is more than just friendship, Nathan’s home ceases to be safe, forcing Nathan to run away and altering his life, relationships, and future. 
    
  Through lyrical and evocative writing, Grimsley explores violence, tenderness, trauma, religion, and queer love against the backdrop of the 1950s rural South. 
    
  “Romantic passion, violence and ultimate liberation coalesce in this singular display of literary craftsmanship.”—Publishers Weekly

  Since the day they'd met, he'd known they were meant for one another, but Beckett doesn't feel the same. Now, it's time to call it quits, only Beckett is in trouble and Holden can't walk away until the man is out of danger. If truth be told, maybe not even then. 
   
   
   
  Beckett: It's not easy fighting powerful forces and juggling things with Holden. 
   
   
   
  He knows Holden wants more, but he's skittish about commitment and he has his reasons. Right now though, those reasons take a back seat to the trouble he's got brewing. So he wants, no he needs, Holden fighting by his side and honestly, he doesn't want to think about Holden walking away. 
   
   
   
  It's all about the timing . . .

And if they do, when the dust settles, will they fully commit to each other or call it quits?
