Run for It All

Can David come to terms with his burgeoning sexual feelings toward other boys after he and openly gay Kevin are attacked? When both his moms take an offer for a year of employment in Europe, fifteen-year-old David Martin has no choice but to head to Connecticut to stay with his dad and his dad's partner. Not only is he leaving behind the life he loves in New York City, he's unsure how he feels about staying with a father he barely knows, one who has been far from supportive during David's life. If he doesn't have enough on his plate, David is also confused and wrestling with his burgeoning sexual feelings... toward other boys. Running with his dad's partner takes the edge off, but training with the hot—and openly gay—track team captain, Kevin Ringer, produces a different kind of rush. An assault on David and Kevin in the locker room gives David a new perspective on his own identity, his feelings for Kevin, and his relationship with his dad. Life is very different from what David is used to, but he's determined to carve out a place for himself. When fifteen-year-old David Martin is forced to go live with his dad and his dads partner in Connecticut, he dreads leaving his comfortable New York City life with his two moms, especially because his dad hasnt exactly been there for him over the years. But with both of his moms off on a year-long job in Europe, hes got no choice. Another thing he doesnt have a choice about? His growing attraction to other boys. To help him deal with it all, David takes up running, first with his dads partner, and then with his new crush and captain of the track team, the openly gay Kevin Ringer. After David and Kevin are attacked in the locker room following a meet, David must come to terms with his own insecurities as he navigates the ups and downs of first love, gets to know his dad in a whole new light, and tries to create a life for himself far from the world he once knew.
