After ten years in the Unification Church, Simon Powell can no longer pray away the truth: he is gay.
He returns to his family home in rural Arkansas hoping to reclaim the life he abandoned. Instead, he finds an ailing father, a family divided by religion, and the same rejection he fled as a young man. Unable to remain, Simon escapes to Los Angeles and begins again.
In 1980s Hollywood, he builds a successful career in the film business and discovers the freedom he once believed impossible. But cocaine, hustlers, and a growing hunger for escape begin to consume everything he has achieved.
Then Simon meets Thad, a beautiful and troubled young man who seems to offer the love Simon has always wanted. Their volatile relationship may become his salvation, or carry them both deeper into destruction.
Simon Says is a candid novel of religious disillusionment, gay identity, addiction, and the dangerous search for a life that feels true. It is the first book in the Powell Legacy Series.
