Description
Cameron Post's life changes forever when her parents die in a car accident. With their passing, she inherits a secret: she's gay. Orphaned and living with her grandmother and ultraconservative aunt Ruth, Cameron finds love with a beautiful cowgirl. However, when she's outed, her aunt sends her to God's Promise, a conversion camp that claims to "cure" homosexuality. At the camp, Cameron faces the harsh realities of denying her true identity. This raw and powerful debut explores the complexities of coming-of-age, faith, and self-discovery. A poignant and thought-provoking story about one girl's journey towards acceptance and belonging.
