Drawing inspiration from the life stories of ExJW youths, Hail Santa! is a coming of age tale set in the restrictive boundaries imposed by the Jehovah's Witnesses. Hezekiah "Kai" Whitman is an average teenage boy, with just a few exceptions.

Autorenporträt
Initially embarking on his literary journey at ten years old while being raised as a Jehovah's Witness in South Florida, Sullivan D. Cohen draws inspiration from his experiences of growing up sheltered from the world and closed off from his identity as a queer man, crafting the majority of his narratives in the realm of LGBT+ fiction. His novella, "Forever and For Always," delves into the complexities of forbidden love in the anti-lgbt atmosphere encouraged by his ex-religion, while the book "Hail Santa!" offers a unique perspective on the same theme as well as the concept of waking up to "the truth about the truth" as a PIMI youth.
