Whether you're trans gay lesbian bi queer questioning or straight this winner of the Stonewall Children's & Young Adult Literature Award will make you marvel at the beauty of human connection and the irrepressible nature of love.
Everyone has that one line they swear they'll never cross the one thing they say they'll never do. We draw the line. Maybe we even believe it.
Sage Hendricks was my line.
Logan Witherspoon befriends Sage Hendricks at a time when he no longer trusts or believes in people. As time goes on he finds himself drawn to Sage pulled in by her deep but sexy feminine voice and her constant smile. Eventually Logan's feelings for Sage grow so strong that he can't resist kissing her. Moments later he wishes he never had. Sage finally discloses her big secret: she was born a boy. Enraged frightened and feeling betrayed Logan lashes out at Sage. Once his anger has cooled however his regrets lead him to attempt to rekindle their friendship. But it's hard to replace something that's been broken-and it's even harder to find your way back to friendship when you began with love.
