Customer Reviews

compassionately written!

I bought this book with some trepidation, because Tom Dooley was a great hero of my childhood and I was geared up to feel defensive about the book's theme. But it was compassionately and non-judgementally written and I was on the whole pleasantly surprised by it! It also speaks volumes about discrimination, defamation, and inflicting shame upon good people who don't "fit into the {percieved-by-society} norm" where sexual orientation is concerned.
