This book is actually 3 books in 1 by a gay furry author Kyell Gold. I used to say once you get past the furry it's great writing, now I say I love it for the furries. This is a great young coming out story in dealing with bigotry and homophobia in your own family. The antagonist which is the mother otter in this book appears and another series by the same author "Out Of Position" however she does not appear until book 3 or 4 of the series.
