When a national nonprofit labels Big Burr "the most homophobic town in the US" and sends in a task force of queer volunteers as an experiment - they'll live and work in the community for two years in an attempt to broaden hearts and minds - no one is truly prepared for what will ensue. As tensions roil the town, cratering relationships and forcing closely guarded secrets into the light, everyone must consider what it really means to belong. Told with warmth and wit, this novel is a poignant, hopeful articulation of our complicated humanity that reminds us we are more alike than we'd like to admit.
