YA
Kaycee's life in Sunshine, Tennessee, is all Southern charm and sweet tea, but she longs for more and has a big secret. Enter Bren, the hip new girl in town who challenges Kaycee's quiet existence and, more importantly, her sexuality. While characterization is slight, this coming-out story offers a meaningful exploration of myriad forms of bigotry within its small-town Southern setting.
