Queerly Beloved

A semi-closeted queer baker and bartender in mid-2010s Oklahoma embarks on a new chapter after leaving her job at a Christian bakery, turning her side gig as a bridesmaid-for-hire into a full-fledged business. As she navigates her growing confidence and a budding romance with an engineer named Charley, she also grapples with the desire to stay true to herself while balancing her relationships and her people-pleasing tendencies. This heartfelt debut explores themes of authenticity, self-discovery, and finding one’s own voice.
