(3) YA Out-and-proud Jo (short for Joanna) agrees to go back in the closet for her senior year when her father, a radio evangelist, moves her from Atlanta to rural Georgia to be closer to her new stepmother's (conservative) family. Nuanced takes on family dynamics, social politics, friendship pressures, religious faith, and first love all inform this smart twist on the coming-out story.
