Even at an early age, Adam knew he was different. sure, he played sports, climbed trees and joined Boy Scouts like most young boys. However, deep within there was a sense he didn't belong.

Unlike Adam, Katie was always the life of the party. Everyone loved her, and she had hundreds of friends. then her true nature emerged, turning her life upside down.

A broken relationship and a college reunion set the scene for an extraordinary correspondence between two people seeking to find themselves and a place in society. Beautifully issustrated postcards that can be slipped out of hand-crafted mailboxes and soulfuly journal entries offer insights into the "coming out" experience. the reader, regardless of sexual orientation, will identify deeply with this emotionally moving story of romance, personal growth and overcoming the obstacle of prejudice in our society.
