Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit

Joanna "Jo" Gordon has always been out and proud—until her evangelical radio host father moves them from Atlanta to small-town Rome, Georgia, and asks her to lie low for senior year. But keeping her identity under wraps gets more complicated when she meets Mary Carlson, the perfect girl with a not-so-perfect boyfriend.

A warm, funny, and heartfelt coming-of-age story about faith, family, and falling in love.
