Book Blurb

Alden is sixty-five, walking with hardware in his body and history on his back. After years of institutional punishment, public stigma, and a slow collapse that ends in a shelter, he’s done begging systems for mercy—and done confusing survival with living.

Then he meets Julian: shy, intelligent, rebuilding his own life with quiet discipline. Their connection doesn’t start as a rescue. It starts as a choice—coffee, honesty, boundaries, and a steady rhythm of seeing each other in a world that’s trained them to brace for loss.

As Alden fights his way back to housing and rebuilds the Texas Authors Museum into something stable (not “saved”), three outward-facing programs begin pulling attention beyond Texas—ReadSafe Ratings, Human Author Verified, and True Voice Reviews—and the mission grows louder without swallowing the relationship. Julian doesn’t become a partner in the machine. He stays what Alden hasn’t had in a long time: a witness who shows up without trying to own him.

This is a novel of loss, faith, and choosing love again—with real-world grit, mature communication, and intimacy that builds with restraint until it finally breaks into heat (tasteful, not graphic). It’s also explicitly not a fairy tale: forward motion, modest stability, and two men learning how to be safe together without becoming tangled.

Inspired by real events; names and identifying details are fictionalized.
