   Summary

   Jack Merridew has always known who he is supposed to be: disciplined, controlled, and unwavering in his faith.

   However Simon makes that impossible.

   What starts as skipping choir practice turns into something more dangerous, as Jack is forced to confront feelings, he cannot name without condemning himself for them. Torn between the rigid certainty of everything he’s been taught and the quiet, undeniable rightness.
