Sarah Fender I just wanted to say thank your for sharing your amazing talents with the world. Your memoir truly changed my life, and changed who I am; if I hadn't read it when I did, as a thirteen year-old who was confused out of her mind, I probably would have thought that there was something wrong with me and would have been afraid for a long time. You're a huge inspiration, and a wonderful influence.


Amanda Thank you so much for your beautiful book, Anthony. I'm playing Joanne in a production of Rent right now, and it was such a joy to read, not to mention an excellent resource.
