Just by Looking at Him
"From the first line of Just by Looking at Him, you'll know this story is so much more than boy meets boy. First, there's the humor.

As a gay man with cerebral palsy, Elliot has always searched for the o...

In a jungle village an old man sees a strange girl who has collapsed in a field. Once a holy man, he is sure she is not an evil spirit.
