Carol E. Anderson

Author, Carol Anderson provides me a nice in depth look into what it was like growing up gay in the sixties. I can only imagine how hard it must have been for not only Carol and other women but men as well. It is not like today's society where people are more open and there is not much of a shock factor. In fact, if you turned on your television or even movies; you would find a greater percentage of gay characters. One of my favorite was on Glee played by Chris Colfer aka Kurt Hummel.

What I enjoyed the most about this book is that it was just Carol being open and honest. There was no politics or preference to accept the gay community. Although, I do have to say that reading about Carol's experiences trying to fit into society, I thought she handled it well. I am glad that she and her mother were able to connect after she shared her sexual orientation. For anyone needing that extra push or looking for a good read, you should check this book out.… (more)
