I actually read this book for work because my boss needed to know if it was appropriate to use at conferences and things like that. Needless to say I thought spending a day reading was a pretty sweet deal, and luckily the book was in fact very good.

This is a compilation of first-person accounts of young people who have come out to family and friends. The stories are real, and very personal. Each essay discusses the writer's personal struggle with their sexual identity, and how they overcame their fears to come out to their families. Some stories are really painful and deal with tough issues like drug use and depression. While the subject matter is very sensitive, this book would be a great resource and teaching tool for gay teenagers.
