"Such poetic prose! I’m already so invested in these characters. The descriptions of the early years beautifully capture the complexity of being a teen in general with the added layer of being an LGBTQ teen in small town America. The main character’s perspective as an adult is an artful illustration of trying to open back up to trusted relationships after trauma. I’m so curious to see where this goes." — May 21, 2026 07:51AM

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring

“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
