"A journey towards self-acceptance told with humour and insight"
A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month June 2023
Aidan’s family life is busy! With four noisy younger sisters and parents who are always keen to discuss issues and share feelings there is little space for Aidan to find any peace.
When his mum announces that she’s going to become a surrogate mother for her friends Justin and Atif, Aidan feels completely overwhelmed. Running is his escape from all of that. But even running can’t help Aidan sort out what he feels about maybe being gay.
Now Justin and Atif are almost family will his uncertainty be exposed or will it help him to feel more at ease? Against an ebullient family background, Aidan’s journey towards self-acceptance is told with humour and insight.
