I wish my mom could/would read this book. It's just her story- without bias, without the evil conspiracy of the "homosexual agenda", without hope of guilting the readers into self loathing, or repentance of unfair treatment to diverse populations- it just is. but her state of being, by no fault or choice of her own, disallows her from the honor given to even the most degenerate people of society. It's just the tragic story of someone who is. it isn't a sob story about rights denied gays either. this isn't some kinky, soft core porn, fantasy, lesbian sex thriller. What broke back mountain failed miserably in doing, ratcliffe did with ease. anyone could pick up this book and see clearly everything she's very clearly alluding to, so there isn't much mystery, but instead, a whole lot of straightforward honesty about an aspect of the world most overlook without even realizing. there isn't anything too astounding about her writing style, and nothing too "deep" about it either. It should be MANDATORY that everyone reads this book.
