It begins with a 3:00 a.m. telephone call. On one end is Terry
Bachelder, a closeted teacher. On the other, the suicidal teenage
son of the local preacher. When Terry fails to prevent disaster,
grief rips the small town of Crystal Falls apart. At the epicenter
of the tragedy, seventeen-year-old Jonah Riverside tries to make
sense of it all. Finding Daniel's body leaves him struggling to
balance his sexual identity with his faith, while his church, led
by the Reverend Isaac Thompson, mounts a crusade to destroy Terry,
whom Isaac believes corrupted his son and caused the boy to take
his own life. Having quietly crushed on his teacher for years,
Jonah is determined to clear Terry's name. That quest leads him to
Eric Jacobs, Daniel's true secret lover, and to get involved in
Eric's plan to shake up their small-minded town. Meanwhile, Rev.
Thompson struggles to make peace between his religious convictions
and the revelation of his son's homosexuality. If he can't, he
leaves the door open to eternal damnation-and for a second tragedy
to follow.
