Rory McFarlan's debut novel portrays a gay Mormon's struggle to find himself.

SEATTLE, Dec. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- QUOTES:
"Nephi, as your Bishop, I must tell you that those prayers are wasted. God's plan permits marriage between one man and one woman. He declared it in the Proclamation to the World on the Family. It is clear. It is a doctrine that will not change."

"The strongest bonds don't happen all at once. We form them over hundreds of shared moments. Those bonds are strengthened as people rely on each other through trials."

"There are others like me. Others who are gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, aro, ace, or otherwise queer. All of us feel like misfits and outcasts in the church. We don't know where, or if we belong. It feels like there is no place for us. We are stuck between two worlds, a Mormon world that we love, and a queer world inherent to our nature."

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Nephi Willard is a practicing Mormon who loves God and his church. He grew up in Happy Valley, the center of LDS life in Utah, and faithfully served a mission.

The perfect Mormon life would be his, if not for the fact that Nephi is gay, putting him at odds with his church leaders. No matter how well Nephi obeys the commandments, he doesn't seem to fit in at church, and his desire to follow the Mormon rules makes it difficult to fit in with the gay community.

While he tries to reconcile his Mormon side with his gay side, Nephi navigates two worlds in a struggle to understand himself. When new friends introduce him to possibilities he never imagined, he must decide whether to embrace his nature or his faith.
