Unwritten in Scripture

Makki has always lived within the lines-shaped by a faith that defined right and wrong, and praised for being the child who followed every rule. But everything shifts when he meets Lucca, a new boy with sharp questions, a wild heart, and no interest in fitting in. As friendship turns into something deeper, Makki finds himself in a quiet war between faith and feeling, terrified that loving Lucca might mean losing everything-his family, his community, even God. But in the silence between the verses, Makki begins to wonder if some truths are unwritten in scripture-and if maybe, just maybe, love was never a sin to begin with.
