Wide awake

Review

In the not-too-distant future, a gay Jewish man is elected president of the U.S. The governor of Kansas opposes his election, and demands a recount in his state. As these events unfold through the eyes of 16-year-old Duncan and his friends, they also start questioning their own beliefs, commitments, and relationships. Will things last between Duncan and his boyfriend? How far is he willing to go to take a stand for his beliefs? The people he meets and the ideas Duncan finds on his journey bring more questions than answers, but leave him with a glimmer of hope for the future.
