Synopsis

The last place Chas Montgomery wants to be is in the damp basement of an old church undergoing conversion therapy. But when her mother catches her kissing her best friend Jess, that's exactly where she ends up.

Years later, “Chastity” is a model of the life her family always wanted for her: married to a man and devoted to her faith. She’s done everything “right” and put her old life behind her for good. Until she meets Alex.

But when an unexpected pregnancy from her marriage threatens to unravel everything, Chas must confront her past to protect her future. Can she hold on to the life she’s building with Alex, or will fear, guilt, and unrelenting pressure pull her back into the shadows?

Her Name Was Chas is a poignant contemporary lesbian romance that blends emotional depth with a hopeful journey of self-discovery.

The debut novel from author SK Holt, this beautiful, deeply personal, and authentic queer love story is perfect for fans of emotional, character-driven contemporary fiction, with themes including LGBTQ+ identity, religious trauma, second chances, and found family.
