Description
by Scott Terry (Author)
A haunting tale of religious extremism and the struggle for acceptance in mid-20th century America.
Butch Blackwell, raised in the insular world of Jehovah's Witnesses, grapples with his burgeoning homosexuality amidst the church's condemnation. His mother, Pansy, brings him to rural Siskiyou County, California, where he finds solace and unexpected kinship with a kindhearted rancher, Steve Bultemeyer. Butch embraces the cowboy culture, but his journey to self-discovery is fraught with prejudice and family secrets.
As Butch navigates faith, sexuality, and the complexities of small-town life, he confronts the hypocrisy of religious dogma and the courage required to live authentically. Will Butch find a path to acceptance and forge his own definition of family and faith? The Gift explores the enduring power of love, the search for belonging, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Perfect for readers seeking character-driven historical fiction with LGBTQ+ themes.
