Prologue

Joel Harvick knew he was gay at the age of 14. His siblings were nothing but supportive, as was his best friend, Toby O'Connell.
But life isn't that easy.
It has its ups and downs. And it likes to hit you hard in the gut when you are down.
But, everything happens for a reason.
It all leads to the place that we all call home.
It's just a matter of finding it first.
