A Secret Edge
Описание книги
I love the long distance run, when you feel like you're about to die. . .and then you reach this place where you feel like there are no boundaries for you anywhere. . .In many ways, Jason Peele is like any other teenager. He hits the books, hangs with his friends, flirts with girls, and omits the full truth of his life from his Aunt Audrey and Uncle Steve, who have raised him since his parents died. But there's one way that Jason Peele is very different: when he dreams at night, it isn't about girls;it's about David Bowie. At sixteen-years-old, Jason is just beginning to understand that he might be gay.The one place Jason feels comfortable is on the track where he can run fast and hard. He loves the feel of the wind at his back, of his legs propelling him furiously around, the roar of the crowd in his ears. But now, even his sanctuary feels threatening. It isn't just the jerks who call him «faggot» in the locker room. A new guy has joined the team, and everything about him will challenge the way Jason sees life. From late-night showings of «La Cage Aux Folles» to reading Gandhi, he's running a new race on an uncertain course, and only one thing's for sure–his senior year is going to be unforgettable. . .With A Secret Edge, Robin Reardon delivers a sexy, sensitive coming-of-age novel about identity and courage, love and honor, anger and hope, and the many ways the truth can really set you free."As sexy as it is surprising. A Secret Edge is a refreshing spin on the coming out story as well as a memorable new love story for the new millennium." –Brian Sloan, author of A Tale of Two Summers

Robert makes a few grimaces, seemingly not sure where to start, and finally leans his shoulder against the fence, hands in his pockets.
“Well, you always seem—it always seems like you understand that stuff. In Williams’s class. You always know what the book is really about, not just what the words say—you know. And I’m lucky if I even get all the words. And forget writing about it. So—I dunno, I was hoping maybe I could talk you into giving me a few pointers. I can’t afford to fail another class. I already got kept back last year, and my dad’ll kill me. Plus, you know, it’s embarrassing.”
