Worth Choosing: The Triad's Son (The Chosen Family Universe)

Daniel Monroe-Harris has been carrying things differently since he was twelve.Not quietly anymore. Differently. He knows now where his things belong — on a shelf in a room that is his, in a penthouse that is home, with three fathers who chose him and a dog who never left his side. He knows how to say okay and mean it. He knows the difference between performing okayness and actually being okay.What he does not know yet is who he is going to become.Worth Choosing follows Daniel from the boy who said okay on a Christmas morning to the young man who crosses a Princeton stage with a diploma in his hand and three fathers in the audience who cannot keep their phones steady. In between there is boarding school and a first kiss in Rome and a first heartbreak in an Olive Garden on US 1 and a best friend from San Francisco who carries something he has not yet put down. There is a mask in Venice that a shopkeeper said would watch over him forever. There is a girl in Utah and a girl in New Jersey and a girl who researched his grandmother in Milan by name. There are four years at Princeton and one internship and one letter from a bank on Temple Bank letterhead that changes what comes next.And there is a white envelope. The kind he has been receiving since he was old enough to read them. Written by a woman who sat at a kitchen table in Queens and did not know what came next but wrote it down anyway.Worth Choosing is the second book in The Chosen Son Arc, a spin-off series set in The Chosen Family Universe. Readers of Worth Keeping will watch Danny become Dan and understand exactly what that cost and what it gave back. Readers of The Triad Arc will see three men become something they never planned to be and could not now imagine not being.You do not need to have read anything else to follow Daniel Monroe-Harris through Princeton. But if you have, you already know the masks on the wall and the dog on the ottoman and the man who said Sheila's kid in the dark.This is the story of what happened next.Part of the Chosen Family Universe — an interconnected saga of gay, straight, bisexual, and polyamorous love stories where family is chosen, bonds cross generations, and no story ever truly ends. New to the Chosen Family Universe? Two great starting points await — follow the Holiday Narrative beginning with Love Grants Both Their Quests, or discover the Temple Bank Narrative beginning with Hearts Over Numbers. Both paths lead deeper into a world where love is chosen and family is built to last. However, this book — Worth Choosing — is a complete story in itself and will give you a deeply satisfying read entirely on its own. Read more
