Chicken

By Chase Night

Casper Quinn has a secret. Brant Mitchell has two. Hickory Ditch, Arkansas - July 2012 Popular fried chicken chain Wings of Glory is under attack from homosexual activists, and Harvest Mission Pentecostal Church is ready to fight back. Casper wishes both sides would just shut up. He's got enough on his plate already. His family lost everything after his father's accident, including Casper's future. Unless something changes, he and his secret will be stuck here forever, just like the ghost in the Ditch. Brant was born stuck. Come graduation, he's off to Bible college, but only so he can come back and take his rightful place behind the Harvest Mission pulpit. Just like his parents always planned. But there's an awful lot Brant's parents don't know about him and never can. Caught in the crossfire of a culture war in which they never enlisted, Casper and Brant will each have to find his own answer to the age-old question: Am I really what I eat? Because if they could find the courage to tell each other their truths, they might discover there really is life after the Ditch. CHICKEN is a Southern Gothic YA novel with an infusion of magical realism. It's a raw, honest, sometimes funny, sometimes poignant look at falling in love in a place where angels and demons are believed in without question, but the human heart is always subject to suspicion.
