I believe that this book is an eye-opening experience to those (myself included) who are growing up now in a time where, for the most part, it is okay, accepted, and encouraged, to be open about yourself and your identity. We know the history of the Gay Rights movement in the United States but this book is a first and second-hand story of growing up in a closeted life.
I very much enjoyed reading this book and would absolutely recommend it. The story flowed really well and it was a joy to see all the pictures sprinkled throughout.
Laura went through such a journey of deciphering her parents' love for each other and her love for her parents. Even though her parents had an interesting relationship, she showed us that they were very much there for her and her siblings.
Honestly, the hardest part of this story was seeing her mom be embarrassed about her husband. I do understand the generation and the way society was at the time did not make this easy but it hurts to read, to know that was the vibe behind the scenes.
