Product Description
This revised edition of Alyson's groundbreaking anthology for gay and lesbian teens features new original fiction which reflect both the tension and relief of being true to oneself. Contributors include Gregory Maguire (Wicked), Brent Hartinger (The Geography Club), Claire McNab (The Wombat Strategy), Michael Thomas Ford (Last Summer) and Bonnie Shimko (Letters in the Attic). These stories provide hope and inspiration to gay and lesbian teenagers as they take the first exciting, often difficult steps toward accepting their sexuality and emerging from the shadows as open and proud individuals. Jane Summer is the author of The Silk Road. She lives in New York.

Great Read for Teens July 28, 2008
J. Aragon
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I found this book in the 75% off bin at the university bookstore and grabbed it on a whim thinking it might be useful to assign as a possible book in the intro to women's studies course.
I'm glad I was in the bookstore and found this book. It was poignant and at times hilarious. The book is an edited volume with pieces written by various authors--including Gregory Macquire (Wicked).
The book's audience is a lay audience, in particular GLBTQ teen. But, I think that most readers would enjoy the book, since the sections cover topics of interest--first love, betrayal, youth memories, and the like.
The sections also highlight diversity--ethnic, racial, class, and, of course, gender. I read this book in one sitting. I laughed and might have shed a tear or two.
