by E. M. Ben Shaul (Author)
Dani Perez, a secular israeli working as a software engineer in Boston, has never had trouble balancing his faith and his sexuality--until he meets Avi Levine, a gay Orthodox Jew and sign language interpreter. As they fall in love, Dani finds himself wanting Avi in his life, but he cant understand how Avi reconciles what his religion demands with what his body desires. And although he wants to deny it, neither can Avi. Despite the risk of losing Avi forever to a religious life that objects to their love, Dani supports him through the struggle to find an answer. Will they be able to start a life together despite religious ideology that conflicts with the relationship they are trying to build?
