TIM is being bullied. No one in high school wants to be known as a tattle-tale and to do so would only make things rougher for him. The repercussions would most likely make him an outcast, and without any friends.
ERIC is frustrated with life. His parents are overbearing and if they ever knew the person he really was, they would throw him out of their house. His friends are not much better, they only like him when he is who they expect him to be.
DELSIN is gay and ready to come out. Unfortunately, life at home is on the brink of falling apart with his parents constant fighting. Admitting the truth could bring his whole world crashing down around him.
Each of these three needs to decide whether the risks of being honest about who they are outweighs the importance of being true to themselves. This could mean ruining life as each of them knows it. Maybe it is better to remain miserable in order to play it safe. On the other hand, doing nothing doesn’t seem to working either.

This book is much different than the "Finding Our Way" trilogy in that is has a bit of a darker side. As usual, Mr. James does not paint a story of all roses and rainbows nor is it all angst and gloom. This is what I would think it would be like. The families not as accepting except the heterosexual antagonist's family. It is about fear of others finding out that you are different and the anger that comes with it. It's about bullying and the pain of it resulting in what the person is felt like he is forced to do. It's about family dysfunction, inability to accept the child's inherent sexuality, and the harm it causes. Although it deals with these problems gay teens struggle with and have to deal with, it also drives home that there are support systems out there and people will accept them regardless of what their sexuality is. There are people out there that have been through the same thing. There are people that really couldn't care less if you are gay, lesbian, straight or bisexual. They just want to know if you are a good person or not. Tim, Eric, and Delsin are very relatable characters. Either you can relate to them or you know someone like them.They are very well developed, not too deep or shallow. I read this book in about 12 -14 hours. I would go to sleep but wake needing to find out what would happen. I do recommend this book highly.Product details

TED Tim Eric Delsin eBook Jayson James Jennifer Kusakabe Reviews
This heart touching, gripping & extremely beautiful story will touch your soul. I have to applaud Mr. James for writing something that teaches our young adults love, compassion & understanding. Even though it's geared towards youth, I truly believe that EVERYONE should read this eye opening account into the world our teens struggle with.
Nothing I can tell you will ever do this book justice except... READ IT!!!
This book was extremely well written and full of such loving emotions. I had tears in my eyes at points of the story. You will not be able to stop reading once you start. I read it straight through unable to stop because I had to know what was going to happen next. Beautifully done Jayson James )
"T.E.D.", the newest offering from author Jayson James in his "Finding Our Way" series, features a trio of young men (and their collective troubles) who could be living today in Anywhere, USA.
We are introduced to Delsin a closeted gay teen in love with his boyhood friend Tim. Delsin's parents are on the verge of divorce, and he feels compelled to be the protector of his little brother Jett while struggling with coming out. Then we meet homophobic Eric an artistic, suffering soul who's being secretly exploited by Kristian. Eric's relationship with Kristian is love-hate and simmering with toxicity. Kristian's abuse of Eric continues to escalate until the reader wonders How much can someone surrender to before he snaps? Eric's family cowers under the strain of an abusive mother and parents who fight constantly, and Eric wrongly takes out his understandable frustrations by bullying the effeminate Tim. Tim is assumed to be gay because of his manner, but Tim is surprisingly and truly in love with Sheila. Unfortunately, Delsin also thinks Tim is gay and comes out to him before coming on to him. Even his supportive, loving parents think Tim is gay, and their `Do you have something you'd like to tell us?" questions lend a comical tone to the story. The lack of anyone to see Tim for who he is - as well as the bullying he suffers at school - takes its toll, and Tim becomes suicidal.
"T.E.D." is a novel about a group of average people who might live on your block, with each struggling to live his or her truth and find that elusive happiness. The story is packed with suburban angst, where life is intended to look like Norman Rockwell paintings...but in actuality there are bloody fights in the school hallways and locker room, dinners getting cold because parents are fighting, and teenagers staking ephemeral claims within their high school's brutal pecking order. James's rhythm is haunting in its moments of palpable sadness, and one gets the idea that roast beef getting cold while mom and dad argue is perhaps something he knows all too well.
My only criticism would have been the author's reluctance to utilize contractions (cannot instead of can't; do not instead of don't, etc.) during the teenagers' dialogue with each other, but after continuing into the story this only added to the surreal, dreamlike rhythm of the novel that reminded me of the early works of filmmaker Jim Jarmusch.
"T.E.D." is a novel about high school kids and how they navigate identity, friendship, sexuality, bullying, redemption and living with the consequences of one's actions. How apropos that author Jayson James named his series "Finding Our Way".
This book was deep. It explored so many feelings teenagers experience. Tim had a great family, supportive parents who accepted him just as he was, but he was overwhelmed at school being bullied, and with those loving parents, he didn't talk to them about it. Then there is Delsin whose parents were dicks, they fought and argues, without caring how their kids felt, bringing Delsin into it, forcing him to chose sides. And finally Eric, the bully, who had the shitiest, homophobic parents who had already kicked one gay son out of the house. Eric missed his brother, had no love or support from his family, was being abused....not saying more because of spoilers.....all three used to be friends years ago, but now aren't. A lot of the story is journal entries by Tim. I loved Tim's parents. They were parents, who when they saw a child hurting, regardless of 'circumstances' ( avoiding a spoiler), they went into protect mode.\
\
Maybe all a bully really needs is the love and acceptance of a parent or someone, to make them feel good about themselves, so they don't have to hurt someone else.\
\
This is an over-simplified synopsis of the book. It made me think and once again ask my kids if they are bullied at school or if they have seen anyone else bullied. I reiterated, never stand by and watch. Notify someone if standing up to them will put them in harm's way.\

I knew I would love this book simply because of who wrote it. I was not disappointed!\cell
