Home, love, and possibilities he never imagined are waiting for Billy Joe to claim them. But first he needs to escape the horrors of his past. A twisted act of cruelty and prejudice drives Billy Joe from his Mississippi home, and he makes it as far as Pennsylvaniaâwhere his car breaks down just as the year's first snowstorm blows in.

Carlos sees the same willpower in Billy, and he wants to help Billy and his son succeed in a new life that is very different from the one they left behind. With his support, they start to adjust, and before long, both men want more than encouragement from each other. They want the chance for a future together, but their families have other ideas⦠and Billy's will stop at nothing to get what they want.… (more)

How do you learn right from wrong if you were raised to hate nearly everyone? Where do you do when all hope for acceptance is gone? This is a story about the power of family to destroy and the power of family to help heal. Whether you are into m/m or not, this title tackles a lot of really hard topics that all boil down to who we choose to allow ourselves to be. Grey has a few books like this that really make me think of him as an activist for basic human decency and compassion. This is def. a title that will teach you some hard truths if you’ll let it.


****TRIGGERS - this book is deep and touches on a lot of sensitive areas. In true Grey style, they are left mostly vague and implied but brace yourself for the rollercoaster of emotions.**** ( )
