ISHINNIE. Perfect love in a world where same-sex relationships are expected and heterosexuals are in the minority. This is a book of two love stories, from two narrators.
Annie, who falls in love with the beautiful and career-driven, Christina, never feeling good enough with her small dreams of a happy family. Annie is haunted by the death of her alcoholic father, destroyed by his husband leaving him for a woman, but Annie believes in ISHINNIE and that her perfect love with Christina will get her through.
Their son, Jim, is the second narrator, falling in love with a girl while he is at school, learning to hide his love for fear of ridicule and bullying. As Jim matures and his passions grow stronger, he has to learn what ISHINNIE is and make a stand.
Annie and Jim, mother and son, on a collision course because of love, held together through the years by the common bond of Christina.
Will they learn the hardest part of love is forgiveness and only then can ISHINNIE be truly felt?
