"Chris Brenner has it much worse than most twenty-year-olds..."
"The Only True Religion" & "Liberation"
Book One of the RESTORATION series, set in modern-day America, presents the story of twenty-year old Chris Brenner, a gay man escaping from his ultra-religious parents and their efforts to 'torture him straight', through religious conversion therapy. Arriving at the Center in San Francisco, Chris befriends fellow initiates George and Mary as they work to free themselves from the mental bondage of their religious upbringings-- and Chris falls head over heels in love with Tom Griffin, a charismatic worker at the San Francisco Center for Restoration.
For forty years, the Center for Restoration has tirelessly worked to save society's outcasts as they flee to America's great cities. But now, a rising tide of violent intolerance threatens the very existence of this life-saving humanist institution.
~~~~~~~~
The RESTORATION saga combines graphic personal stories with the on-going upheaval of America in the twenty-first century amidst political turmoil, religion run amok, and social media addiction.
