Sergio Reyes and Bernard Baker meet as teenagers at a Catholic seminary in Queens. Baker is warm, physical, certain of himself in ways Sergio can only watch and catalogue. Sergio is careful, observant, and quietly undone by a friendship he cannot bring himself to name.Over twenty years - through a confession on a frozen sidewalk, a prayer spoken over a lit candle, a summer that almost takes one of them, and a vocation that almost claims the other - they build a life around each other in the only language available to them: gesture, proximity, showing up.Nothing is ever declared. Nothing needs to be.Sergio and Baker and Lessons in Staying is a novel about what two people look like when they have been choosing each other, without fanfare, for the better part of their adult lives - and about the ordinary, stubborn, sacred act of not leaving.
