Catholic School Boys in Trouble A Novel by Brett Butler
In the hallowed halls of St. Ignatius Catholic Boys' School, secrets fester behind spotless uniforms and polished shoes. Catholic School Boys in Trouble is a bold, emotional, and provocative coming-of-age novel that explores friendship, faith, identity, and forbidden love. Blair Cohen, a quiet Jewish teen from Congers, New York, is thrust into a world he doesn't understand after being expelled from his public school under false pretenses. St. Ignatius, with its iron-clad rules and unspoken hierarchies, becomes the unlikely stage for Blair's transformation-from outsider to the heart of a tangled web of loyalty, love, and betrayal. There's Luke Roberts, the golden boy with secrets of his own. Josh Alvarez, a slick heartbreaker who hides longing behind sarcasm. And Pickles-Blair's messy, loud, fiercely loyal confidant who just might be the moral center of it all. As tensions rise and past mistakes echo through present choices, these boys must confront the truth of who they are-and who they want to become.
Both heartfelt and scandalous, Catholic School Boys in Trouble is a fearless journey through the turbulence of adolescence and the courage it takes to live your truth-even when everything around you says not to.
