Far From Xanadu
Julie Anne Peters
Every day in Coalton is pretty much the same. Mike pumps iron in the morning, drives her truck to school, plays softball in the afternoon, and fixes the neighbor’s plumbing at night. Maybe on a big day she stops by the Dairy Delite. But when an exotic new girl, Xanadu, arrives in the small Kansas town, Mike’s world is turned upside down. Xanadu is everything Mike is not-cool, complicated, sexy, and . . . straight. Mike falls desperately in love with her, and at first Xanadu seems surprisingly receptive. Can a gay person love a straight person? And will the love be returned? Or are there physical and emotional distances that can never-and should never-be crossed? This heartbreaking yet ultimately hopeful novel will speak to anyone who has ever fallen in love with someone just out of reach.
