Surrender Your Sons is utterly incredible. Set on a secluded island Conversion Therapy camp, Connor has had enough of the mental and physical abuse and has decided to take down the entire system. A thrilling and emotional novel by first time author Adam Sass, I genuinely cannot recommend it enough!

His SAT scores bombed, the man he delivers meals to died, and when he came out to his religious zealot mother, she had him kidnapped and shipped off to a secluded island. His final destination: Nightlight Ministries, a conversion therapy camp that will be his new home until he “changes”. But Connor’s troubles are only beginning. At Nightlight, everyone has something to hide from the campers to the “converted” staff, and it quickly becomes clear no one is safe. This really is a genuine page turner of a non-typical thriller which will keep you guessing until the end! You follow Connor who, after coming out to his mum ends up in a camp bent on “fixing” people who identify as anything but ‘straight’ starting off with Connor having to delete everything from his phone that connects him to his life of apparent sin... What unfolds will have you holding your breath as you race through the story to find out just how Connor plans on getting off of this island by any means possible. Connor himself has a lot of struggles to deal with during his time away as he firmly believes he will outsmart the staff and fellow campers, fleeing the island but as secrets come to light about something that happened many years ago and connections to his home life seem to take on new meaning, will he really just abandon all his fellow campers or will he dig deeper to uncover some dark and well kept secrets all while trying to stay alive and fighting? This story will resonate with anyone who has faced adversity purely because of their sexuality or identity. Sadly many of these conversion camps exist in our world today and Connor’s journey battling all those who are against him really will open your eyes as to just how wrong it really is. Why is this camp nearly empty, how come one of the staff keeps making eyes with a fellow camper, and just what happened to someone who Connor considered a friend?
