Oklahoma Grown: Where My Roots Are Planted (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798377577034)

Nathan is having to return to his home state of Oklahoma, following a devastating divorce. As he tries to overcome the fear of rejection, he learns that his own past as a young gay man growing up in a Mid-West community is not nearly as scary as learning how to love yourself, and allowing others to love you while you are healing. Nathan learns to open up and reconnect with some unlikely people, as well as finding a new foundation for love in his faith. With help from his reunited family, and an unexpected source, Nathan is able to feel pride in himself and start gaining the confidence he never realized he could have.

Aaron is a strong, disciplined, former golden athlete with a blemished past, where he had tormented others while on a toxic path of denial. He has kept a secret from everyone, and this secret is finally coming out of the shadows as he tries his best to escape the life he never wanted with as little blood on his hands as possible. Aaron's lessons are heavy, but with trusting in his friends and believing in himself, he is able to start righting the wrongs of his past in order to save himself from his own misery. Unfortunately, the consequences of his actions are more prevalent than he may realize.
