When Joel Espen, a closeted gay sixteen-year-old, dies of thirst on a
Boy Scout hiking trip, it shakes the small Mormon town to its socially
conformist foundation. And the teens who were closest to Joel start
to view their community—and themselves—in a new light. Told from
six heartbreaking perspectives on love, loss, and growing up Mormon,
this is the poignant story of how one teen’s death can unhinge a
town—and bring about its eventual transformation.
h “It’s a testament to Smith’s skills that although her central character speaks
only through other people’s recollections, his identity emerges distinctly by the
end of the novel . . .” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
