Delia Barnes and Ernest Wrangham met as teens at Celebration Camp, a churchsupported conversion therapy programme the dubious, unscientific, Christian practice meant to change a persons sexuality. After witnessing a devastating tragedy, they escaped in the night, only to take separate roads to their distant homes. They have no idea how each has fared through the years. Delia is a college basketball coach who prides herself on being an empowering and selfpossessed role model for her players. But when she gets fired from her elite East Coast college, shes forced to return to her hometown of Rockside, Oregon, to coach at her high school alma mater. Ernest, meanwhile, is a renowned poet with a temporary teaching job in Portland, Oregon. His work has always been boundarypushing, fearless. But the poem hes most wanted to write about his dangerous escape from Celebration Camp remains stubbornly out of reach. Both persist in the mission to overcome the consequences and inhumane costs of conversion therapy. As events find them hurtling toward each other once again, they both grapple with the necessity of remaining steadfast in ones truth, no matter how slippery that can be. TELL THE REST is a powerful novel about coming to terms, with family, history, violence, loss, sexuality, and ultimately, with love.
