About the Author
Eric Marcus is the author of several books and coauthor of Breaking the Surface, the number one New York Times bestselling autobiography of Olympic diving champion Greg Louganis.
From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up Some of the authors in this valuable compilation of personal stories identify as gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender/questioning (GLBTQ), while others have GLBTQ friends or family members. The selections are both powerful and poignant many evoke deep emotional responses. The book's universal message is that at the core, everyone desires the same things: to be accepted and to be loved. However, not one essay describes a completely positive coming-out experience with parents, making the book unrepresentative of some teens' experiences. The writing styles vary, and some essays are stronger and clearer than others. Average-quality black-and-white drawings add little. The index lists the starting page of the essay in which a topic can be found. Desetta also provides information on the sponsoring organization, Youth Communication, and on foster care, which is a feature of life for many of the teen writers. Noticeably absent is a list of GLBTQ resources, such as websites, books, and hotlines. Overall, though, this title will be a useful addition. Sarah K. Allen, Elko Middle School, Sandston, VA
