Fernando

by Chanel Hardy

Overview

After a year in county jail, a new life on the outside awaits! Nineteen-year-old Amari Davis is a rebellious transgender teen from Georgia with a desperate desire for a fresh start—but being packed off to Brazil to work with her father, a military vet now in the Peace Corps, isn't exactly what she has in mind. Amari struggles to adjust to the new culture and fit in with the locals until she meets Gabriel, a handsome and endearing young man who works with her father. The two are drawn to each other, and as their friendship deepens, Amari's newfound romance tests her resolution to live authentically. If she tells Gabriel the truth about herself, will it push him away forever?

From award-winning author Chanel Hardy, 'Fernando' is a modern, unconventional love story set in the 90's that explores what it means to live as your authentic self, giving love a chance when all seems lost, and to be young and resilient in the face of adversity.
