The Kiss

In a teenager's crush, there are yearnings, fantasies, and profound emotions are as scary as they are thrilling. The very essence of a romantic's yearnings is the seemingly elusive first kiss.

Like any other teenager, Billy Cooper fantasizes about that kiss, wishes for it, longs for it. The object of his affection is Johnny Creed, one of the most popular boys in school.

But when the moment finally comes, it isn't quite how he envisions ... especially when he's caught in the act by his angry mother.

The Kiss is an intense story about the power of first love juxtaposed to the horrors of hate and ignorance.
