Annotation
Cailen has only one wish. To have a family he could belong to and a home to call his. ***** At thirteen, Cailen had been to different foster homes, each of them returning him for one reason or another. His heart had already taken so much rejection that hopelessness had set in, giving up on himself and shutting down, that even when a family does welcome him and love him, he still has his doubts. When Cailen returns from University to visit his family, he finds himself struggling to keep a secret that he knows will make him lose the only home and family that he has. Will Cailen lose himself? Or will he lose his family?

It’s pretty good so far. My heart goes out to Cailen. After years of being thrown back into the orphanage, he finally has his family. It’s what he has dreamed of since he was a wee boy. Alas, he still feels he can’t be his true self with them. Even after being part of the family for years he feels he will let them down and lose them if he tells them about his sexuality preference. Even his friends seem to know and try to get him to open up about it. But he’s very afraid of losing everybody.
