Joel's rural life of high school and farming in Common, New Mexico, is
changed forever when Tom comes to town. The son of a preacher, Tom
reaches out to Joel in friendship, and their bond to each other becomes
as tight as brothers. Joel's openness to his own feelings and
acceptance of himself (a healthy trait instilled by his loving parents)
allows him to explore some new and confusing feelings he has for Tom.
His confusion clears, however, after a reckless drinking bout ends with
a very public kiss from Tom. But Tom's torment of sin and
self-incrimination are far from over. Common Sons,
the first in a series entitled "Common Threads in the Life," is a
moving
tale of self-discovery, love, and finding the courage to come out and
come
to grips with the truth in the face of hatred and adversity.

The long-awaited sequel to Common
Sons is finally here! More in love with each other than ever, after
five years together, Joel Reece and Tom Aen decide it's time to start a
family of their own—and that's where the trouble starts.
After being together for five years in the small town of Common,
New Mexico, Joel and his 'husband' Tom decide to start a family. The
only
problem is they're both men. Knowing that two gay men will never be
able
to adopt, they decide to find a surrogate mother to carry their child.
They
do not bargain, however, for the beautiful and determined Sharon
Minninger¡ªa runaway from a Mennonite community near Nuevo
Casas Grandes, Mexico¡ªwho offers to carry the child. Her
influence on their lives is far more than they every dreamed. Nor do
they expect the backlash against their decision to be fathers to be as
virulent as it is from some of the less open-minded citizens of the
small southwestern New Mexico town. But they do have powerful allies in
what comes down to a battle over the child that is eventually born.
