The Anarchists' Club

Ask any preacher’s kid, it’s never easy to be a PK. For Leo Stanhope, though, it may be harder than for most. He was born Charlotte, and in the Reverend Pritchard’s home—well, as in all of Victoria’s England—there is precious little room for persons unwilling to know their place and stick to it. And things are about to get harder: There’s a gentleman, you might call him, who knows Leo’s secret, and this gentleman is not above a spot of blackmail. And that secret could get Leo locked up for life. 

There is a bright spot, though, in the form of two little kids. They’re teaching Leo’s heart to open again, after a wretched year. In warming to them, he realizes how much more he has to learn. He’s taught himself to talk, to dress, to walk, to inhabit the world as a man. Now he has to learn to be a father.
