Tamar has been called to become a minister, and for most, this would be an honorable moment, but for Tamar, it is the worst thing that could happen. Tamar is the daughter of prominent Deacon Jessup, and is a lesbian. Taught that her desires are not that of God, Tamar has suppressed them for the last 16 years and has never dated a woman. When the Future Minister's Ministry opens for a new class, Tamar finds herself falling for the only other woman in the class.

GOLDEN BOY is the story of James, a young man who gambles on the dangers of being seen versus the quiet life of desperation and invisibility. Saved from doomed nonexistence by CQ, a wealthy debonair businessman with more going on than meets the eye, and introduced to a world he is not ready to navigate. We follow him as he chases his dreams -- while losing himself, one piece at a time. GOLDEN BOY is a story with universal themes. Trust. Seduction. Betrayal. Redemption.
