most important parts that made me whole?

High school senior Paul has dated Angie since middle school, and they're

good together. They have a lot of the same interests, like singing in

their church choir and being active in Bible club. But when Manuel

transfers to their school, Paul has to rethink his life. Manuel is the

first openly gay teen anyone in their small town has ever met, and yet

he says he's also a committed Christian. Talking to Manuel makes Paul

reconsider thoughts he has kept hidden, and listening to Manuel's

interpretation of Biblical passages on homosexuality causes Paul to

reevaluate everything he believed. Manuel's outspokenness triggers

dramatic consequences at school, culminating in a terrifying situation

that leads Paul to take a stand.

Lambda Literary Award-winning author Alex Sanchez tackles a subject

ripped from the headlines in this exciting and thought-provoking

exploration of what it means to be both religious and gay.
