Title - Leave Myself Behind
Leave Myself Behind
Yates, Bart
Noah York is a closeted gay teenager with a foul mouth, a critical disposition, and plenty of material for his tirades. After his father dies he moves with his mother to a small town in New Hampshire. While renovating their new home they discover dark secrets hidden within its walls - jars containing letters, poems, photos and journal entries, that reveal a previous resident's history of pain and violence. While his mother grows more obsessed and unsettled by the discovery of these artifacts, Noah fights his own troubling obsession with the boy next door, the enigmatic J.D., who is hiding terrible, haunting pain behind an easy smile and carefree attitude. Eventually the boys tentative attraction to each other blossoms into real love, one that will shatter the manicured facade of small-town civility, revealing cruelties and betrayals hidden behind the emotional walls constructed by husbands and wives, mothers and sons, friends and neighbors.
