Synopsis

In the fall of 2010, the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell captured the nation's attention.

Life just got more complicated for Shy Cole, a non-binary military officer struggling with their identity and budding attraction to their supervisor. Their mother, Evelyn Cole, and the world around them expect them to live conservatively, even at the expense of their own happiness. Until the repeal of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, Shy could lead such a life, but now their identity and military career are in jeopardy. Shy can't help but wonder, did they make the right choice for themself?

Evelyn Cole is surprised by how much the DADT policy will impact her life in the coming months. Once Evelyn discovers the truth about Shy, she must re-examine her perception of the past and present. As a result, she questions everything, including her faith and role as a mother.

The decision Shy and Evelyn face will either reunite them as parent and child or separate them once and for all.

Set against the backdrop of a contemporary neighborhood in Los Angeles and a military base in Southeastern Arizona, Shay Potter's debut novel thoughtfully examines acceptance, love, and camaraderie with beautiful, lyrical prose. Two Roads Back Together chronicles a journey of self-discovery and explores family relationships, challenges, and deeply ingrained fears. Perhaps most importantly, it shows we can rise above the limitations we place on ourselves and others.
