Product Description
Scott Faraday is sixteen and has no idea that his world is about to radically change. Scott is fun-loving, in a small-town rock band, and out—but only to a select few. Isolated in a high desert town, Scott doesn’t know anyone else who is gay. When Ryan St. Charles, a troubled 17-year-old, moves to Yucca Valley, Scott’s world tilts on its axis. Ryan is a brash seventeen-year-old who has just severed a long relationship with a man, but still considers himself straight. As Scott and Ryan’s friendship develops, Scott begins to suspect that Ryan might be covering up that he’s gay. When Scott comes out to Ryan, their friendship is transformed into his first real relationship. Tightly focused on these two characters, Desert Sons follows the thoughts and emotion of the ups and downs of a young adult gay relationship. Filled with first-time wonder, teenage angst, and the swirl of emotions that can only be expressed by youth, readers are pulled headlong into a highly-charged drama. “In Desert Sons, Mark Kendrick has provided all the ingredients of a good book: solid characterization, a compelling story, and a skillful evocation of place. All in all, Desert Sons is a wonderful read, realistic and moving. Highly recommended.”—Guy Willard, author of Foolish Fire and Mirrors of Narcissus

 Will never forget. December 13, 2007

This is a novel that I will never forget and has become my favorite book of all times. The emotions that brings in you are inexplicable. It takes you back to your mid teens and all the angst involved, it makes you remember your first love and the emotions involved. It will make you cry and laugh. But above all it will move you like few novels can. I still can't believe it's a work of fiction, the characters are so real and the emotions so raw. It makes you remember that first sexual experience with your first love, the exploring, discovery of new feelings, the joy of it all, something that once experienced you know it will never be the same again, it will never be new again. I reccomed this book to all gay men out there, young and old.

I love it when I pick up a book and don't realize that two hours have gone by! That is what this book did! It keeps the readers attention and moves at a decent pace. All in all, an excellent read!

This is one of the best books I have ever read. I am recently been getting into other kinds of novels besides fantasy and I am pleasantly surprised by how good the story was. It is a book I will continue to read regularly. GREAT JOB!
