Saint Stephen ( BL )
Seventeen-year-old Stephen Walton is counting down the days until he can escape Sacramento. Trapped between the rigid expectations of his all-boys Jesuit high school, a struggling family weighed down by his father's unemployment, and the fear of living as an openly gay teenager, Stephen dreams of reinventing himself at an East Coast college where life feels bigger, bolder, and full of possibility. But when he falls for charming new student Matt Henderson, he finds himself chasing acceptance within a wealthy social circle that slowly pulls him away from Jamie, the best friend who's always known the real him. As college decisions loom and family tensions reach a breaking point, he must confront the uncomfortable truth that growing up isn't about becoming someone else—it's about finding the courage to embrace the person he's been trying to define all along.
