A heartfelt debut novel about a boyā€™s attempt to find himself in the history he lovesā€”perfect for fans of Dear Sweet Pea and From the Desk of Zoe Washington.

Amos Abernathy lives for history. Literally. Heā€™s been a historical reenactor nearly all his life. But when a cute new volunteer arrives at his Living History Park, Amos finds himself wondering if thereā€™s something missing from history: someone like the two of them.

Amos is sure there must have been LGBTQ+ people in nineteenth-century Illinois. His search turns up Albert D. J. Cashier, a Civil War soldier who might have identified as a trans man if heā€™d lived today. Soon Amos starts confiding in his newfound friend by writing letters in his journalā€”and hatches a plan to share Albertā€™s story with his divided twenty-first century town. It may be an uphill battle, but itā€™s one that Amos is ready to fight.

Told in an earnest, hilarious voice, this love letter to history, first crushes, and LGBTQ+ community will delight readers of Ashley Herring Blake, Alex Gino, or Maulik Pancholy.
