The most touching and meaningful book to me is something that I would recommend to anyone. Not only is the story and emotion behind each situation something that everyone should at least realize as reality, but it leaves the reader with a sense of understanding towards love that has been pushed aside; rejected in cases. My favorite selection from this book would have to be:
I shook my head at her. She didn't get it. She didn't understand at all. I love Hannah. Faith, too.I'd be happy for them to have that money, have anything of mine.
I closed the door behind me, feeling sad for my mother. Sorry for her. Yeah, I'd made sacrifices; I'd experienced loss. But she had no idea what this was costing her. Because she was losing me.
The reason I love this book so much is because of the truth, the reality and the emotion contained within the story. I asked my mother to read this, to maybe help her see what it was like..how hard it is to go through everything, everyone seems to want to put on the "wrong" type of love. Love is love, no matter the color, gender or size of the other person. All that matters is the true connection you have with the person, and you knowing and feeling truly in love with this other person. This story helped me feel comfortable with myself, and to overcome the struggles that gays/lesbians/transgenders/questioning inviduals must go through.
