Set in the 1960s, two young men, Agron and Nathan, who are opposites in many ways, become fast friends. Agron is immediately enamored with the small, but strong Nathan, formally Nasir, who was adopted by a loving family when he was orphaned at a young age. As the two boys grow closer, each of them experiences new and exciting feelings for one another. However, the time they live in is not exactly tolerant of same-sex couples, so they must keep their relationship secret. One thing always remain constant in their lives: Agron and Nathan/Nasir will do whatever necessary to protect and love one another.
When I first discovered this story I was a little apprehensive since it's set in the 1960s. I mistakingly thought that it would be filled with narrow-minded people spewing hatred and judging this lovely couple. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The story is far from over, so there most likely will be plenty of angst in the future, but as of right now, readers are treated to watching Agron and Nathan's relationship blossom and shine. I highly recommend this beautiful and refreshing love story.
