This is book 5 of the New Reality series. I don't recap, so if you haven't read the first four, you will be lost.

Tyler Scott can't wait to start his senior year. An agreement with his dad means he needs to get an A in Advanced Calculus. That might be an unachievable task as his math teacher takes pride in never giving out A's. And he might have to do one little thing that could be considered gay to fulfill a bet he lost to his best friend, Devin. As a result, Tyler begins to question his sexuality. The only person he can turn to for advice is Brandon Myers, an old friend he hasn't spoken to in three years since the boy came out freshmen year. Can Brandon help him comes to terms before Tyler's life falls apart?

In the sweltering heart of the American South, where gossip travels faster than thunder and secrets hide beneath the scent of magnolia and motor oil, this story unravels a tale of forbidden longing, fractured loyalty, and raw desire. "Down In The Holler" is a slow-burn Southern romance pulsing with tension, laced with mystery, and charged with the kind of chemistry that doesn’t ask permission.

A Summer in Iowa is based on two key times in the author's life. In 1968, the author turned 12 and began junior high. It was a tumultuous time in which protests rocked America and MLK and RFK were assassinated. Fast forward to 1972, when the author turned 16 and was in high school. The author experienced his first time on his own while attending a summer science program at the University of Iowa. Although the romantic aspects of the story are fictional, much of the rest of the story is based on real events. A Summer in Iowa also serves as a prequel to the modern-day story in the author's New York Stories series, Reminiscing About the Future.
