The Redemption of Daya Keane

*Signed Bookplate*

The lyrical, insightful prose ofWe Are Okaymeets the witty and irreverent voice ofThe Lesbianas Guide to Catholic Schoolin this heartfelt queer coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of a small towns evangelical megachurch culture.

Its Daya Keanes junior year, and nothing is as she expected.

First, her mother has started attending Grace Redeemer, the popular megachurch in town. Boasting concert-worthy light shows, an amazing live bandand a pastor whos all about loving thy neighbor, as long as thy neighbor gets right with God first.

And second, Daya talks to Beckett Wild at a party neither of them were meant to be at.

Beckett is Daya’s longtime crush, the one shes been pining after for years. Shes smart, cute, artisticand the apparent poster girl for Grace Redeemers popular youth program. As Dayas best friends, Stella and BRad, are quick to point out, someone like Beckett wouldnt be remotely interested in returning her feelings.

Except maybe she is. Except maybe she does.

Dayas never felt the need to have normal high school experiences. But she never expected to fall this hard for someone, either. Now Daya has to decide how far shes willing to surrender to Becketts world of Grace Redeemer, and who shes willing to become to be with her.

A fearless and profound tale ideal for readers of Jeff Zentner and Jennifer Dugan,The Redemption of Daya Keanegives an intimate and unforgettable look into a world that demands to be seen.
