UNBOUND

A Journey of Escape, Identity, & Love

An emotionally powerful LGBTQ+ novel about self-discovery, courage to live freely and forbidden love—through youth, military service, and adulthood.

Haunted by a painful past and trapped by the rigid rules of military life, Andy Kramer has spent years running—from his abusive father, from his identity, and from the truth he dares not speak. Enlisting in the Air Force was supposed to offer freedom, but instead it forces him deeper into secrecy—until he meets Jason McDermott, a fellow airman who sees through the walls Andy has built.

With Jason, Andy discovers something he never believed he deserved: understanding, love, and the chance to finally be himself. But in a world where authenticity comes at a price, Andy must decide if love is worth risking everything—his career, his friendships, and his safety.

As years pass and the burden of hiding grows heavier, Andy faces an impossible choice: continue living in the shadows, or fight for the life—and the love—he’s always wanted.

Spanning more than a decade, Unbound: A Journey of Escape, Identity, & Love is a deeply moving story of growth, resilience, heartbreak, and the lifelong journey to embrace one’s truth—from youth into adulthood.

Will Andy find the strength to break free, or will fear keep him chained forever?
