AT CAMP SAINT DOROTHY, ONE SUMMER CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING

A few things Manuel Monaldo knew: He was a scrawny autistic Italian-American gay 17-year-old with ADHD and a passion for fine pastry-making. And he's an outcast. A loser. A nobody. When he's sent by his parents to a (fake) conversation camp (that's actually a summer camp for queer youth), he thinks it might be his chance to finally... fit in. But this summer has something much different and much better in store for him.
