Very Insightful!!

This book is extremely helpful in understanding how each side of the gay issue feels. As the parent of a gay teen, this book offered insight to the feelings and struggles of the teen. It equally shows the shock, concern and fears of the parent. If both gay teens, and parents, will read this book it will help close the gap of understanding.

Heart-felt story of a mother and son and their struggles

This is a great story of the feelings of a mother who discovers her son has homosexual attractions. It shows her desire that her son overcome these feelings and the struggles of her son. It also shows the perspective of a gay friend of her son that doesn't believe the son needs to overcome these feelings. It is a record of e-mails between the mother and the friend.Very enlightening as to the issues on both sides of this debate. Warm and easy reading.

Heart-felt story of a mother and son and their struggles

I learned a lot about the emotional struggles of a mother who is coming to grips with homosexual attractions of her son and her prayers that he can overcome these attractions. The book also shows the side of a gay friend of her son who believes her son was born that way and can't change. It shows both sides of this issue and the complexities of it.This book should help people on both sides of the debate to understand each other better.

Touching, true story with a message

I really enjoyed this book. It's a heart-felt dialogue between a mother and her son's gay friend. The mother believes her son can overcome his homosexual tendencies. The gay friend believes he doesn't need to, but should just accept himself as he is. It shows the mother's feelings and the struggle her son is going through. It also shows the point of view of the gay friend. Very enlightening!
