Jesus Boy

Winner of the Sonja H. Stone Prize in Literature, Preston L. Allen's Jesus Boy was listed by O, the Oprah Magazine/ as one of “Ten More Titles to Read Now.” Sixteen-year-old Elwyn Parker is dedicated to God. But when the one he loves marries another man, Elwin gets involved with a much older woman. Soon, his lust will test his devotion-and may alienate him from his congregation.

“... a shout-hallelujah tale of transgression and grace, a gospel of lusty and everlasting love.”-Booklist
