Produktbeschreibung

When Julien Grant walks into the dentist's office one warm summer day, he expects the worst--cavities, a root canal, even oral surgery. But the doctor's orders are far more terrifying: in order to have the surgery he needs, Julien will have to attend a two-month-long conversion therapy program. His insurance provider, like most in 2040s America, allows for carriers to pull coverage from those whose "lifestyle" goes against their religious beliefs. Faced with a ticking clock and no alternative, Julien finds himself at Galilee Baptist Church, an ostensibly beautiful property with more than a few sinister secrets hidden below its pews.

Galilee's director, known only as The Major, rules over the program with an iron fist; something that eventually pushed Julien to the limits of his sanity. At first, Julien wishes only to survive the program so his desperately-needed procedure can go forward, but when he develops feelings for Finn, another young man in the program, Julien must reevaluate everything.

Autorenporträt

Mike Pratt, the debut author of CODE OF THE NIGHTBIRD, has loved storytelling for as long as he can remember. In his mind, good stories have the ability to transport us to faraway places, or situate us so centrally in our own experience that we can't help but find the strength to grow.Pratt's primary goal through writing is to add stories that lift up and empower queer people.Pratt's academic background involved a multi-dimensional approach to storytelling that incorporated mediated communications, gender and sexuality studies, and theatre arts-all of which inform his writing today. Since graduating from Stonehill College, Pratt has stayed within the realm of higher education, educating people on queer history and structures of oppresson, as well as providing sexual violence prevention education.Beyond writing, Pratt loves to act and can be seen in various film and television projects.
