Everybody has a story as good as a movie, and this one belongs to author Cade Jay Hathaway, creator of the Happy Endings Sleepover/Johnnie & Sander gay youth book series. Hathaway has enjoyed career success, in love, and in his 25 years has accomplished more than most. But there is one area in his life that has fostered a very dark hole. Much of his family, especially his mother, do not accept him for who he is. The fact that he is gay contradicts their steadfast evangelical Christian beliefs, which has caused a schism between them that evades reconciliation. Book Boy is the tale of an exceptional young man who sees the brighter side and is proud of who he has become despite the harsh judgment of others.
