The Barbecue

From the creator of the Billy and Lyle series of books. Lear Hughes is heading home for a family reunion after a seven year absence. Conveniently, this will also serve as the ideal time to announce his upcoming marriage to his lover, Matthew Shaw, where he can extend to the family invitations to attend the affair. Although his homophobic parents and five older brothers know that Lear is gay, their reaction to his future nuptials is in question so Lear has brought Matthew along for support (under the guise of being a neighbor until he can muster up the nerve to reveal their secret). What Lear does not know, however, is that his family has a few secrets of their own and these will threaten to stop Lear and Matthew from ever getting married.
