Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
The Shyers, mother and son, very successfully use a rarely successful technique--telling a single story in chapters alternating their respective viewpoints but following the same chronology. As they take turns telling of Chris' maturation from repressed homosexual childhood to self-accepting gay manhood, we not only hear their words, but, more important, empathize with both of them. Chris is his parents' middle son, and as early as age five his mother suspected and predicted his homosexuality. She and Chris' father took him to psychologists and otherwise did everything they could to raise a heterosexual child. Meanwhile, Chris, like many other gay children, was harassed at school and miserable during most of his childhood and adolescence. Marlene's side of the story is particularly compelling, for Chris' father denied there was anything unusual about their son and even now, while she accepts Chris' gayness, only tolerates his son's sexual identity. Not just another story of what it is like to grow up gay, this book reveals what being gay is like for both the gay person and fellow family members. Charles Harmon

Format:Taschenbuch
A wonderful book for anyone who comes in contact with, works with, is friends with, is or is related to a gay person--and that's EVERYONE. This book gives gay people courage knowing that they are not alone, blasts stereotypes of the "freaks" that some people think gays are, and is a helpful "guide" for parents who need to re-think their mindset on what a perfect family is.

I picked this up at a PFLAG meeting and couldn't put it down. From his kindergarten teacher to a series of child psychiatrists they all assured his mother he was not homosexual. Gays are the only minority who, harrassed at school, can't turn to their family for support.

Reading this book as a gay man struggling to find a way to discuss sexuality with my parents, I found Marlene's chapters to be a refreshingly honest look at how a mother deals with her own concerns about the possibility of her son being gay. It opened my eyes to the chance that all this time, what I kept locked in as my own secret really had been considered and feared by my parents. Her early reluctance is later broken away by an acceptance we all should hope could come from a family. Highly recommended reading for parents, though a frank discussion between a mother and son is necessary to counteract Chris's unique story, which is certainly different from many others', including mine.
