Special edition of the Federal Register, containing a codification of documents of general applicability and future effect ... with ancillaries.

A young man must learn to love himself and fight for a better existence despite his religious father's beliefs and sins in this LGBTQ read where suffering makes you know yourself. Booker is a church leader whose double life includes preaching the Bible and abusing his family, especially his son, Bart. Despite his evil acts, he uses morality to argue against lifestyles like homosexuality, even when his son is part of that community. The struggle with what to believe in culminates in a confrontation between Bart and his father-and Bart is ultimately sent away to a group home. But getting past his father's abuse and corrupt people in church turns into a chance to confront indoctrinated truths head-on...no matter the consequences. Reconciling beliefs, upbringing, and trauma changes one man's life in a story that will leave readers riveted by the ways we choose to heal and save our most authentic selves.
