A poignant tale of two hearts valiantly fighting to stay true and find love.

Review
There is so much fear in this book. Fear of what people will
do. About the retaliation they will face when they know your big secret.
This story is a tale in self-discovery in seeking acceptance
and embracing the life you deserve to live.
Sawyer (the MC in this book) truly seeks what all kids do
from their family… support. He wants to be what they want him to be all the
while it’s like he’s screaming inside. “WHY CAN’T YOU SEE ME? WHY CAN’T I JUST
TELL YOU?”
It was heartbreaking and it really shined a spotlight on the
struggle all LGBT face at some point in their lives.
AD Ellis did a beautiful job with Sawyer and really showed
the emotion well throughout this story.
Author Bio
A.D. Ellis is the award-winning author of two related collections of
stories, A Torey Hope Novel Series and Torey Hope: The Later Years. Her
debut novel, For Nicky, was voted #3 of the Top 50 Indie Books of 2014
by ReadFree.ly readers/voters. A.D.'s fourth novel, Loving Josie, was
awarded the bronze medal in the contemporary romance category in the
prestigious Readers' Favorite 2015 International Book Awards.Born and raised in a small farming town in southern Indiana, A.D. was an avid reader from the time she learned to read. She could often be found curled up somewhere with her nose in a book. Most of her friends and family were not such book enthusiasts, so A.D. got used to dealing with snickers and joking comments about her constant reading habits. Truth be told, Ms. Ellis has always been the definition of a book nerd.
A.D. always dreamed of being a teacher. Graduating from Indiana State University in 1999 and earning a Master's Degree from Indiana Wesleyan in 2003, she met her goal of entering the world of education. A.D. has been teaching in the inner city of Indianapolis, Indiana for 17 years. She spent the majority of her 17 years in fourth grade, but has now taken on the challenges of teaching 3rd and 4th grade alternative education students. A.D. loves teaching fractions, variables, probability, and graphing in Math. She loves almost all aspects of English Language Arts. Figurative language, theme, making predictions, drawing conclusions, inference, context clues, making writing come to life, A.D. loves it all! Her students don't always share in that enthusiasm.
She met her husband in college in 1996 and they married in June of 2000. She lives in a south side suburb of Indianapolis, Indiana with her husband and two school-aged children. When she's not reading or writing with music blaring, she can be found shopping at thrift stores, reading to her children, and sweating at the gym in the very early mornings.
A.D. began her writing journey in October 2013, and she is grateful for the friends and support she's found along the way.
