Milan Sergent

After years of hellacious attempted gay conversion therapy, including his Evangelical parents snatching him out of school mere months before graduating and fleeing the Deep South to isolate him in the mountain wilderness, Author Milan Sergent finally finds strength and the path out of the soul-killing closet into which others had trapped him. Instead of living in a hole in the ground until he died, as his family felt God had led them to do, Sergent is on the climb and speaking out, hoping other marginalized people don't lose nearly four decades of their lives as he has. Come along with the author, who has recently received multiple international book awards, as he shows the world how it all happened and how easy it is for your whole life to turn upside down.

Cooper Pearmain has big plans for a quiet and cushy retirement on the ocean. He has a secret about his wife that would prove devastating to her. Though Lilibet's acting career has long expired, she is determined to remain relevant at all costs. She, too, has a secret that could destroy her husband's hard-earned work. They both abhor one another, and the only bond the couple has left is these secrets. People are starting to question whether their shocking public wars are all just acts of eccentrics trying to revive Lilibet's career, or they are locked together in some sadomasochistic codependency. When the Pearmains suspect the Mayfields, a psychology undergraduate and her husband, are threatening to expose both of them before either Cooper or Lilibet get to use their weapons of reckoning, the young couple becomes embroiled in a horrifically hilarious vacation that will change everyone in ways they never could imagine. Unfortunately, they all learn the hard way that some things are better confessed.

After years of waiting, Savannah Graysen finally finds love and has a miracle baby on Christmas Eve. The boy child, Noel, is a sign from the heavens that being a subservient wife and lover of Christmas has finally paid off until Noel, believed to be an abomination, ends up dead in a manger with a scripture carved on his little chest. Savannah learns the hard way that some institutions cannot be touched, especially when they're ancient and sacred. Even God said so Himself: "Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm."What starts as a mother seeking justice soon entangles her in a web of deceit so divided, so brainwashed, yet still so intent on its mission, that it cannot be reasoned with. If Savannah loses everything dear, will her bravery, she never knew she had, be enough of a reward in Hell?
