YA
Based on a true story, this harrowing novel follows Jason, a gay outcast, and Doug, a budding neo-Nazi, as their paths violently collide. Hurwin draws parallels between the teens, both rejected by family and desperate to find a supportive social network. The clash between them and their eventual reconciliation provide a powerful portrait of hate and forgiveness.
