Forever Is Not Just Time

What does Forever even mean, anyway? 18-year-old Gibbon Mulcahy just ditched his high school graduation ceremony to hitchhike down to Louisiana. Even he isn’t sure why. His boyfriend, Leo, moved back down south months ago, but never called him again. Until that afternoon. Now Gibb has to deal with the consequences of his impulses, encountering people and places he could only have ever conceived in his imagination. But his safe illusions turn out to be no match against the reality of what it really means to love another person.

His favorite teacher and mentor once told him, You can’t get away from your truth, Gibb. It’s with you wherever you go. The longer he stays in Louisiana, though, the easier it is for Gibb to lose faith in whatever truth he thought he’d found.

A story about love, not romance. Odd how those two concepts don’t always mix.
