High school senior Neil Darrien is a budding musical theater star. He has it all-a beautiful girlfriend, a scholarship at a prestigious school, and plenty of chances to showcase his talent. But when Zane Jeffrey comes to town and immediately lands a spot in the school show choir, Neil is jealous. What Neil didn't count on, though, is Zane's charm and humor, and the two soon become friends.
Melissa, Neil's girlfriend, notices Zane monopolizing Neil and draws Neil into her church. There Neil discovers a situation he knows he needs to fix, but if he does, a deep, dark secret that could cost him his future career might come out.
When his relationship with Melissa becomes rocky, Neil is drawn to Zane in a way that is more than friendship.

About the Author
Russell J. Sanders is a lifelong devotee of the theater. He's a singer, actor, and director, winning awards for his acting roles and shows he has directed. As a teacher, he has taught theater arts to hundreds of students, plus he's also taught literature and writing to thousands of others. Russell has also traveled the world, visiting Indonesia, Japan, India, Canada, the Caribbean, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Florence, and Venice-and almost all the US states. His friends think he's crazy, but wherever he goes, he seeks out Mexican restaurants. The Mexican food in Tokyo was great, he says; in Rome, not so good. Texans cut their teeth on barbecue and Mexican food. Russell's love for enchiladas led him on a quest to try them wherever he can find them, and he has found them in some very out-of-the-way places. And good or bad, he's delighted to sample his favorite food. Most importantly, Russell is an out-and-proud gay man, living in Houston with his husband, a recent marriage but a relationship that has lasted almost twenty years. He hopes that his novels inspire confidence and instill pride in his young gay fans, and he also hopes others learn from his work, as well.

Rockin ending
By Amazon Customer Cowtown Mermaid
Coming from this old, white, straight lady, this book was amazing. I literally could not put it down. The insight into the character's emotions made me feel as though I were also feeling all of his pain. The ending was extraordinary. Anyone would benefit from reading this book. I will be anxiously awaiting the next.

In response to this abuse of power and the love of a boy for his pastor
By Michael J. Halfhill / author
There are no spoilers in my remarks. I’m not going to synopsize ‘Colors’. Others have already done that on various review sites.
‘Colors’, by Russell Sanders, is a novel written primarily for young adults. It is written in the first person, a voice, which, if handled well, lets the author explore the immediacy of the main character’s actions, his motives and especially, his emotions. Being a story about a teenage boy those emotions are naturally kaleidoscopic. The story opens in a church sanctuary. Brother Gramm is ‘slobbering’ over nine-year old Neil Darrien’s naked genitals. All the while Brother Gramm is telling Neil that he likes it—does he? Neil is ashamed, frightened, angry, and confused. At nine years of age he’s certainly capable of feeling sexual pleasure, even if he doesn’t quite understand it entirely. You see what I mean by kaleidoscopic. In response to this abuse of power and the love of a boy for his pastor, young Neil concentrates on the refracted light streaming in from the church’s stained glass windows, anything to distract him, to blot out what is actually happening; Red Green Yellow Blue Orange Purple. Over and over and over, thus Colors.
As I read the first chapter of ‘Colors’ I sensed where Russell Sanders was going. I was right.
The complex emotions that swirl around the sex act itself, described only once in full detail, are not revived in this story through Neil’s conscious memory but rather through the intangible colors of splintered light. How does Russell Sanders do it? One word, envoi. Envoi is a device often used in poetry; think Alfred Noyes, or Dylan Thomas, and especially Edgar Allen Poe. However, an envoi is not common in prose and yet Sanders uses it, dare I say revels in it, in ‘Colors’. Red Green Yellow Blue Orange Purple, Sanders employs no less than seven envois in various combinations in the first chapter of ‘Colors’. Throughout the story Neil, now eighteen, is haunted by the memory of his betrayal, made all the more evident through the colors that surround him in the foyer atrium of his high school, or the sanctuary of a church. For me, the colors represented the prism of Neil’s heart, its fears, hopes, and dreams, and yes, denial and desire.
‘Colors’ is a well-crafted story for any young adult, whether gay or straight, and that is why I recommend it.

Wow! This book was amazing. It totally blew me away. I could see the author had talent when I read The Book of Ethan but Colors was even more fantastic.
There are some touchy subjects in the book but they are handled skillfully and realistically and never for titillation.
The main character is Neil Darrien, a budding musical theater star. His life isn’t too bad. He has a girlfriend and a scholarship to an excellent school. He’s also got a secretive past he’d rather forget. Nine years before he was molested by his church’s pastor. It was before the death of his parents and he want to live with his aunt and he’s sure he can leave it in the past.
Things in his well-organized life are shaken up when a new student comes to town and joins the show choir. Zane Jeffrey is unique, a true one of a kind character and he Neil become good friends very quickly. Unfortunately, Neil’s girlfriend, Melissa, isn’t as enamored with Zane as Neil is.
I adored Neil and Zane very much and found them to be original and true to life. Melissa, not so much. She’s somewhat of the stereotypical bitch we see so much in this genre. I gave her some slack because she is a teenager but she just wasn’t a pleasant person. She played with Neil’s emotions and emotionally blackmailed him more than once to get what she wanted and never cared how it affected him.
Despite Neil’s aversion to church and all things religion Neil agrees to perform a song at Melissa’s church. That leads to another performance and then he joins to choir and that leads to a show featuring Neil and Melissa. Each time he performs he has to deal with the colors from the stain glassed windows. It was those colors he focused on while he was being molested.
While Neil is dealing with his performances and relationship with Melissa, his friendship with Zane intensifies. Neil begins to suspect that not only is Zane gay but that he, himself, is as well. He doesn’t have anything against homosexuality but he doesn’t want to think he was made gay because of what happened to him.
The truth about Neil’s abuse comes to light in a very public and absolutely perfect way. He doesn’t come clean because he needs to open up but because he sees the pastor is still up to his old ways.
It was Neil’s decision that made me love him more than I already had. And how the people around him react to that news that set my decisions regarding them. Melissa—Evil. Zane—Amazing. And Neil’s Aunt Jenny—I loved her so much I wish she was my aunt.
I’m not usually a fan of present tense but it didn’t bother me here whatsoever. It wasn’t jarring and actually worked perfectly for Neil’s voice.
This was a unique plot and the entire world was well-thought out; teachers, friends, other students. Except for Melissa there were no stereotypical or cardboard characters.
My one complaint are the short passages that show Zane communicating with his friend Cara. I found them jarring and they pulled me out of the story. But they didn’t ruin the story at all.
Amazing story. Beautifully written. Simply incredible.
