Diary of a Gay Nerd: Life After Child Abuse, It Gets Better!
by
Michel McDonald (Goodreads Author)
Being born gay isn't easy for anyone, but being born gay in a homophobic family in the 1970's made it more difficult for Michel. Physically and mentally abused by his family and school bullies, he had to learn to grow a thick skin to keep from going crazy. The constant torment from everyone around him drove him to several failed suicide attempts.

I find this book to be beautifully written, sincere and heartfelt. It must have been very cathartic for the author to be able to pour out his heart about his life and write about a quasi Dickensian childhood with a dysfunctional family in denial and his triumph over it.
I highly recommend this book.
