He moved from Maryland to Chicago to find himself. But Chase never expected to fall in love with someone who would change his life. A twentysomething lost in a haze of booze and tattoos, Chase had always questioned his sexuality-but in Brady he finally found someone he could truly care about. After a passionate night of exploration, Chase begins to envision a relationship and a future with Brady-who can't admit his true feelings to his girlfriend and family and would rather pretend it never happened. While Brady struggles with his own identity, Chase must learn to accept that the man he loves may not be able to love him in return-a realization that sends him down a spiral of drinking, drugs, and self-destructive behavior. But when it comes to winning someone over, is enough ever truly enough? As Letters twists and turns toward its inevitable conclusion, this complex modern love story explores issues of sexuality, self-acceptance, and coming-of-age through an intimate series of notes written by Chase to the man who would alter his life forever, for better or for worse.

Teenage lovers Theo and Dylan take off together on a road trip to San Francisco, but the journey is anything but a lark. For starters, Theo tried to commit suicide two months earlier. He is tortured by his alienation from his family, and the relationship between the two lovers is strained to the breaking point. Interspersed with the action are flashbacks to Theo's past, as well as intense excerpts from his therapy sessions. His therapist, Dr. Melissa, always ends the hour by asking, "How are you feeling today, Theo Cody?" It's an excellent question, because the young man's moods and emotional states are mercurial and unpredictable. Theo's emotional anguish is directly traceable to his family background: He was conceived while his mother was having an affair. As a result, he has always felt like an outsider, and those feelings were magnified when his mother abandoned him to help forget the infidelity. His only ally is his brother Jeff, who rescued him from the suicide attempt. Zachary Ryan has woven all these elements into a story that will appeal to young adult readers, their parents, and all those close to them: a powerful tale of a young man's journey toward self-acceptance and forgiveness.
