A Brother’s Promise
Josh Walker has always relied on the unbreakable bond between his brothers—a vow they made to always protect each other, no matter what. As the youngest of four, Josh is the football team’s rising star, known for his charm, intelligence, and easy smile. But beneath the surface, Josh hides a secret that could shatter everything he knows: he’s gay.
Living under the shadow of a strict, demanding father, who also happens to be his football coach, Josh has grown up fearing more than just losing games. His father is a man who seems more concerned with toughness than love, a trait passed down from Josh’s grandfather, who once disowned his own son, Josh’s uncle, for being gay. Now, Josh finds himself at a dangerous crossroads, haunted by the memory of his uncle’s fate. He worries that revealing his truth could cost him not only his spot on the team but also his place in his own home.
The only thing holding Josh together is the "brother’s promise"—the pact he and his brothers swore to uphold: protect each other at all costs. But when one of the brothers starts seeking their father’s approval at the expense of this bond, Josh is forced to wonder if this promise is really as strong as it seems.
As Josh struggles to stay true to himself, he’s faced with impossible choices: Will his brothers stand by him when he needs them most? Or will the weight of secrets and betrayal tear them apart? In the midst of family turmoil, Josh might just find love—but only if he can navigate the delicate balance of loyalty, fear, and courage.
A Brother’s Promise is a heartfelt and gripping exploration of brotherhood, identity, and the strength it takes to live authentically.
