Jon, the adopted baby (documents are sealed) grows up in the loving and safe environment of John and Emily Strutter. Heredity evidences in Jon's physical traits - blue eyes, writing left handed, and a cowlick at his hairline, but environment molds his character - thoughtful, responsible, and dependable.
Jon is attracted not only to girls but boys as well and is puzzled why. (A question shared only with a male friend.) Jon seeks to find answers by wanting to know his birth parents but is met with strong resistance from his over-protective mother (those files are closed forever). Jon's father reveals information he has kept private for twenty-one years, and Jon's sets a plan to see at least one of his birth parents.
Jon takes a summer job two states away, in Nora's city. He gets to know Nora by visiting her frame shop, and Jon believes his true identity remains a secret. As Jon drives home to family and school in Minnesota, he must decide how to live his life. With who and where? His choices lead to more secrets.
