Disclaimer – If you want a story with lots of sex, look elsewhere. This is a love story. Seeing, as it is a love story, sex is in there, but it is in realistic balance in the characters’ lives. The story contains sexual encounters between high school age minors, and has some violence. If this offends you, or if it’s not legal for you to read, please do not read. This is pure fiction. No one in this story is a real person, living or deceased. Any similarities, is just a coincidence.

Teenager Andy Collins has a lot on his plate as he struggles with illness and bigotry, but pulls through thanks to the loyalty of his best friend, the love of his boyfriend, a limitless supply of money, and a father who is also a judge. Andy's kind heart and forgiving nature makes him a very likable boy and his health issues ensure a certain amount of sympathy. This is a good story with an unusual setting. Well worth reading.

How do you write a story that is a rollercoaster of emotion and gains gripping pace as it unfolds? I don't know but @Billy Martin does and this story is full of it as Andy Collins lives his adolescent life. I don't want to say too much or I may give away the story so I suggest that others should read and enjoy it for themselves, it is a really good story that I recommend.
