One frigid winter night a week before Christmas, college student Will stumbles into a church during choir practice, bruised by his own father's hands. He's out of the closet now - there's no going back since his fundamentalist father learned the truth - but he's also out of a home, a family, and a future. Will has nowhere to turn. No one to care. Except.... Will's roommate, Quinn, cares. Maybe too much. He's been attracted to Will since they moved in together, but never dreamed his crush was gay. With Will's life in pieces, Quinn doesn't want to push. He also knows he has more experience than Will, who's never even been kissed. Then Will's father makes a reappearance, and Will has to learn to trust his heart more than the voices of his past. But it's the season of miracles, faith, and hope, and Quinn is determined to teach Will how to love and be loved.… (plus d'informations)

Will goes home for Christmas. Learning about Will being gay, his father cracks Will's head on the asphalt, a few ribs with his fist and kicks him out the house for evah and evah and evah for his gayness.

Will is hurt and cold and miserable. Quinn, his gay (who wudda've thunk?) friend/roommate picks him up, cleans him up and adopts him in more ways than one, along with Quinn's big, loving, warm and loud and altogether amazing, Mary Calms type, family.


Will is happy, he is all set with his new family and even a lover. Only his own family is now "sooo sowwy", but Will tells them to go screw. Everyone is proud of him. YAY!

Short time after, Will takes back brother and his mother and his aunt, all of whom did not bother to say something during "the banishing" let alone defend him. Everybody in Will's new family is proud again and as happy as can be for the amazing Will and his amazing old family (sans Dad). MORE amazement and more YAY follow.


Nothing I haven't read before. ( )

Parents are supposed to love their children unconditionally, yet so many throw their kids away for reasons that I will never understand. Will, in this story, has to face the fact that his father not just hates him for being gay, but beats him half unconscious and then kicks him out of the house. The week before Christmas, a holiday that is supposed to celebrate love and acceptance, at that!

Will is pretty disoriented, but manages to walk back to the dorm he had just left to spend the holiday with his family. On his way there, he finds an open church and walks in to rest and maybe get warm. What he finds is his roommate, Quinn, at choir practice, and things take a different direction from there.

Quinn is there for Will, supportive and loving, and Will has a tough time accepting it. Yes, he is attracted to Quinn, but he has never let anyone come close enough to be friends (upon his father’s instruction), so this is a new experience for Will. It’s sweet, and heartwarming, and everything I want a Christmas story to be.

If you like you Christmas stories sweet and your characters a little overwhelmed with warm feelings after living in the cold of bigotry for many years, then you will probably like this novella.

Light and music streamed out of the church, stained glass casting tall flares of color on the snow, a luminous accompaniment to the music, organ, and angelic voices drifting through the open double doors.
