A Summer's Change Ronald L Donaghe

In December 1999, following a chaotic summer when both Tom and Joel were shot by an old nemesis, a desperate teenager named Jared Rory makes his way across a hundred miles of desert in the dead of winter and ends up hiding out in the barn at the Reece farm, only to be discovered by Joel, when he is feeding his livestock. Both Joel and his "husband" Tom are fully recovered from their gunshot wounds, their daughter Shara has returned to live with them, and when the runaway is discovered hiding in the barn, they immediately take him in. But first they must visit his grandmother, whom Jared calls Granny Mack to find out why he has run away. They are surprised at every step, including Jared's questionable history with his grandmother.
