This novel is eye opening and tells the story of a young, gay LDS boy. Many ideas about persecution, acceptance and tolerance are brought to the forefront. Also, it makes an LDS reader, as I am, think about my own thoughts and feelings concerning those of other religions and gays and how they are treated. The message of loving all people is expressed throughout the book and reminders about not being judgmental. Jonathan Langford did a wonderful job with his first, published novel.
