Because she can’t go into this without dealing with the truth: that she has been a mother before, and now she can hardly bring herself to speak to her own mother, let alone return home to Ireland. Nell is running out of places to hide from her past. But to Ireland and the past is where she must go, and that is where The Amendments takes us.

Andrew is a jock, tall and attractive with eyes you could float away in. Though, despite seeming to have the qualities that would make for a romantic love interest, he's never been in a relationship. Why? Because he's in the closet. Being gay isn't exactly suited to a guy like him. Marred with a tendency to compare himself to others—particularly to his overachieving older brother—and having witnessed a less attractive classmate score the man of his dreams, Andrew figures it may be time to start dating. And shortly after his eighteenth birthday, he resolves to do just that.
