Jericho Candelario's Gay Debut
R. Cooper

For years, Jerry has kept to himself, never going to college the way he wanted to, never dating or doing anything with his evenings except getting lost in a book. But although he pushed aside his longing for community and romance, he never stopped imagining the freedom he might have in a distant someday.
Then kind, clever, and out Lincoln Lee opened a bakery in Jerry’s small town and Jerry was immediately drawn to him. He told himself he was lucky when they became friends, that he was too busy to try for a relationship, that someone like Lincoln would never want someone like him anyway. But now that Jerry’s nights are free, all he wants to do is spend them with Lincoln, and Lincoln doesn’t seem to mind. Jerry knows nothing about gay culture, or dating, or being in love. With Lincoln he wants to try, but is he making a fool of himself or is his someday finally here?
