Stars at Night

about

Set in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, Peter's mother moves him and his sister to a new town for a fresh start. As Peter navigates the trauma of losing his father, a budding relationship with the town Pastor fills a lost void, until the relationship crosses a line. In this battle between good and evil and right and wrong, Peter attempts to cope with the shadows of his grief by escaping to the happy thoughts deep in his mind. He soon learns that he is strong enough to stand up for himself and that he won’t have to face life's uncertainties alone.

Through this important story, boy hopes to provide dialogue and safe spaces to heal the hearts of those who may have had similar experiences and feel less isolated in their own journey toward healing.
