Josh is learning that the hardest bully is often the one inside. With the help of his best friend Vladsimir — who just happens to be a vampire — he starts to tell the truth about who he is, and to believe he might be worthy of a life that is actually his.

Rhiannon is trying to keep her father alive through his alcoholism, his divorce, and her own coming out. The two stories braid through a Maine winter: freezing walks to work, flying through the night, pride, bullying, and the slow work of loving yourself.

Room 308 is fiction with a pulse. It is funny, tender, and honest about the years many of us spend hiding — and the relief of finally walking out of the closet.
