| |  | | | In Brief
In August 1983, 20-year-old Bobby Griffith killed himself. Aarons traces Bobby's "life in this account of a young man . . . who took his own life in reaction to the homophobia of his family in particular and society in general. Aarons alternates chapters between pre- and postsuicide events. . . . {Thebook} also documents his mother's journey from antigay crusader praying for God to 'cure' her son to gay rights activist." (Libr J)
| | | | From The Publisher
Bobby Griffith was an all-American boy. He was a nice, hardworking kid from the suburbs who attended church and was loved by his family. When at age fifteen he realized that he was gay, he came upon a conflict for which he found no solution: His family and his religion taught him that his sexual orientation was a sin. Through Bobby's poignant journal entries, his mother's reminiscences, and Leroy Aarons's keen journalistic insight we relive the emotional torment that eventually led Bobby to take his own life.
