An Introduction by Jevic
     Moving for your senior year of high school can be devastating for a teenager, especially a gay teenager. For one teen, Z, moving meant a new freedom, a new chance, a new opportunity ... to be himself. Moving from what is known, including hiding your real self, to a new location on the opposite coast meant a break from from the hiding. This is the story of one young teen who found new freedom, but lost love in the process.
