Publisher's Summary
Israel Ingham's life has never been easy. He grew up in a house devoid of love and warmth. Nothing he ever did was good enough. The fact that Israel is gay just added to the long list of his father's disappointments.
Then a letter from Eastport Children's Hospital changes everything.
A discovery is made, one of gross human error. Twenty-six years ago, two baby boys were switched at birth and sent home with the wrong families.
Sam, Israel's best friend, has been his only source of love and support. With Sam beside him every step of the way, Israel decides to meet his birth mother and her son, the man who lived the life Israel should have.
Israel and Sam become closer than ever, amidst the tumultuous emotions of meeting his birth family, and Sam finds himself questioning his feelings toward his best friend. As Israel embraces new possibilities, he needs to dissect his painful relationship with his parents in order to salvage what's left. Because sometimes it takes proof you're not actually family to become one.
Contains mature themes.

Heart wrenching and warming
A very difficult story written with compassion and heart. Switched is an incredibly moving tale that will make many readers listeners cry. A story of love over hate, Walker expertly weaves a tale of intergenerational heartache and reconciliation. Again brilliantly narrated by Joel Leslie.

Strange but Walker kept me hooked
I just wish that Joel Leslie would study proper pronunciation of the Aussie place names. He does the best Aussie accent that I've heard but every time he mispronounces a place I get taken out of the story for a moment.

Lovely story- pity about pronunciations
As always, N.R. Walker brings a lovely story with well drawn and relatable characters. I wept fir Isaac’s relationships with his parents and rejoiced in his best friends to love relationship with Sam. The switched at birth situation was well drawn.
I thoroughly recommend this book and if you don’t like hot sex described, feel free to skip ahead. Unlike some romances, the story in itself is extremely satisfying even without the hot sex between two men who really adore each other.
