<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"An artist's captivating and quirky illustrated coming-of-age memoir of surprising first love, coming out, and coming to embrace her queer Christian identity"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Is it possible to be gay and Christian?</p> <p>Stacey loves being a Christian. Her best friends are also her church friends. Her favorite place on earth is Bible camp every summer. And she talks to God like they are old friends.</p> <p>But one summer, she meets a girl who turns everything upside down. Is this feeling she has for her more than just friendship? Could it be a crush? Filled with dread, Stacey embarks on a journey to discover what it means to be gay, whether it is possible to change, and how to reconcile her identity with her faith. Will it even be possible?</p> <p>In this young-adult illustrated memoir, Stacey Chomiak tells the true story of her teenage and young-adult years: of heartbreak, family conflict, trying to become ex-gay, wrestling with her faith, and finding love. Uncovering happiness and joy while surrounded by the loneliness of a world that actively excludes her seems insurmountable. Until she learns to love her full self. Then the possibility of being both gay <i>and </i>Christian seems not just possible, but the best answer of all.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Insightful and inspiring. --<em>Kirkus</em></p> <p>Highly recommend this book be read by everyone grappling with sexuality or faith, and also any Christian grappling with the idea that faith can be dictated by who a person loves.
