A Senses and Sensations Story
Football player Bro Sumner and genderqueer Lacey Adair are an exclusive item. Though their high school years have been mostly happy, they continually face dangerous opposition-including a bully on Bro's team and Lacey's violent alcoholic father-because Lacey won't live the traditional gender role she was born to. She chooses to wear dresses and makeup and appear female; underneath the wrappings, she's content with physically being a male in a gay relationship with Bro, and she doesn't want that to change.
Their differing plans for the future after graduation, however, may create changes they can't weather. A compromise with the help of relatives and friends means Bro and Lacey can go to school only an hour apart, but they still miss each other. It's not long before they make new friendships and discover new romantic possibilities. Temptations, jealousies, distance, and expanding horizons could sever their relationship forever unless they can keep their dream of a life together alive in their hearts.
