'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title.Sixteen-year-old Anthony Duck-Young Del Vecchio is a nice Catholic boy with a very big problem. Her only major regret: never having taken typing or computer class in school, destining her to a life consumed with two-fingered pecking and constant prayer to the Gods of Technology. Mia is a social liberal and cheers for each and every victory made in the name of human rights, especially marital equality.

She is thankful to Dreamspinner Press, Harmony Ink Press, and CreateSpace for providing her with alternate places to stash her stories. As a teen, Mia filled spiral-bound notebooks with romantic tales of tortured heroes (most of whom happened to strongly resemble lead vocalists of 1980s big-hair bands) and stuffed them under her mattress for safekeeping. Mia focuses her stories on the emotional growth of troubled young people and their relationships, and she believes that physical intimacy has a place in a love story, but not until it is firmly established as a love story. Her husband of twenty-two years has been told by many that he has the patience of Job, but don’t ask Mia about that, as it is a sensitive subject. Mia Kerick Mia Kerick is the mother of four exceptional children-all named after saints-and five nonpedigreed cats-all named after the next best thing to saints, Boston Red Sox players.

Will Anthony be able to balance his family, friends and new feelings for David with his changing beliefs about his faith so he can live a satisfying life and not risk his soul in the process? His Catholic friends even stage an intervention to lead him back to the “right path.” Meanwhile, Anthony develops romantic feelings for David Gandy, an emo, out and proud junior at his high school, who seems to have all the answers about how someone can be gay and Christian, too. His former best pal bullies him in the locker room. He’s beaten up in the church parking lot by a fanatical teen. After confiding his gayness to his intolerant adult youth group leader, he’s asked to find a new organization with which to worship. And as he faces his dilemma, there are complications. As a high school junior, Anthony has finally come to accept his sexual orientation, but he struggles to determine if a gay man can live as a faithful Christian.

Anthony’s problem is far more serious-he is the only gay kid in Our Way, his church’s youth group. Nor is it being the one introverted son in a family jam-packed with gregarious daughters.

It’s not the challenge of fitting in as the lone adopted South Korean in a close-knit family of Italian-Americans. Sixteen-year-old Anthony Duck-Young Del Vecchio is a nice Catholic boy with a very big problem.
