About the Book
Gideon and Phoenix are no longer the wide-eyed children of yesterday; they're now spirited college students embarking on a journey of self-discovery. As they navigate the vibrant world of academia, their paths diverge—Gideon immerses himself in the intricacies of law, while Phoenix explores the depths of art.
But college introduces more than just a curriculum. Amidst the lively and sometimes chaotic backdrop of dorm life, the twins encounter the fluidity of sexuality, forcing them to confront their identities in ways they never anticipated. Their bond is tested through naked art adventures and heartfelt moments that explore love, loss, and everything in between.
When heart-wrenching news strikes—a serious illness affecting one of their fathers—the twins must grapple with personal struggles that push them to their limits. In Rising Stronger, witness how life’s challenges shape their perspectives, strengthen their relationship, and ultimately lead them to a deeper understanding of love, resilience, and what it means to truly come into one’s own.
