Fiction
“Where Your Children Are” in Every True Pleasure: LGBTQ Tales of North Carolina
“Where Your Children Are” is set in the summer of 1980 at the height of the Atlanta child murders. The story depicts the tensions of race relations, and the looming threat of violence in that place, alongside the narrator’s awakening of sexual identity. [Johns says] “I hope that it reverberates for any reader, in that it is also just a coming-of-age story that happens to be set in the deep South.” —The News & Observer
