Losing What I Never Had
A young man must learn to love himself and fight for a better existence despite his religious father's beliefs and sins in this LGBTQ read where suffering makes you know yourself. Booker is a church leader whose double life includes preaching the Bible and abusing his family, especially his son, Bart. Despite his evil acts, he uses morality to argue against lifestyles like homosexuality, even when his son is part of that community. The struggle with what to believe in culminates in a confrontation between Bart and his father-and Bart is ultimately sent away to a group home.

Reconciling beliefs, upbringing, and trauma changes one man's life in a story that will leave readers riveted by the ways we choose to heal and save our most authentic selves.
