Critics Review

A magnificent achievement… I cannot remember a book where I cried so often. Brave, insightful, unflinching, funny, sad, triumphant… everything. And both a warning and a hope for the times to come. - STEPHEN FRY

A beautifully written, utterly compelling account of growing up poor and gay with a thrice married, physically disabled, deeply religious Mormon mother, and the imprint this irrepressible woman made on the character of Dustin Lance Black. Their extraordinary bond left me exhilarated - it actually gave me hope for the future. - JON KRAKAUER, author of INTO THIN AIR

An incredibly moving book about how love really does have the power to conquer all. Beautifully written and fortifying - Attitude
