Publisher's Synopsis
Best friends since childhood, pastor's daughter Erin Rose and Japanese immigrant Ayumi Hachimitsu grow closer than they could have imagined. They bravely navigate the perilous landscape of a same-sex relationship in a conservative Montana town. With the constant stress and many close calls become too much, the girls are planning something life-changing on the day of their two year anniversary. That is until the bigoted pastor discovers what his daughter has been hiding and sends her to conversion therapy. God's Path Youth Retreat has a brutal track record of brainwashing and torture under the guise of "Sexual Orientation Reparative Therapy." Erin struggles with her sexuality and questions everything she has learned, while Ayumi struggles with the trauma of her public outing and humiliation from her forced separation. Desperation and hopelessness grip the girls as they try to hold on and find their way back to each other. Will their transgender friend Andrea be discovered in her vie to help? Will the girls be able to withstand their harrowing journeys unscathed? Will Erin survive the horrors of reparative therapy? Will they ever be the same?
