High School graduation is just around the corner and Travis Reid couldn't be more relieved to leave behind the pressures of being a black gay teenager behind. A day after his eighteenth birthday he takes his first step into the real world by attending a popular gay club. There he meets Seven, a hot GoGo dancer that shakes up his world and carries him on an epic journey known as first love. Neon Amber is a coming of age novel that tackles what it means to be a young gay black man in a world built against them.

A familiar tale of two black boys going through the motions of adolescence, love, and homophobia. Told over the span of a couple years. Kyle without a doubt knows he's 100% gay and nothing his father, mother, or what the bible says will ever persuade him otherwise. He'd rather die, than live a life that isn't his. The love of his life, Darius--isn't quite so sure.
