My blog category about quotations (or truths in any format) that ring true to me (and I hope to you, to us).

And I would add, “Read Difficult Books.”

Robert and I have just finished reading American Teenager: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era …

… Nico Lang’s difficult-to-put-down examination of trans teenagers in the U.S. trying to be who they were born to be.

We had the privilege of attending Nico’s book presentation at our beautifully inclusive church here in Savannah, Asbury Memorial.

“American Teenager gives readers a window into the lives of Wyatt, Rhydian, Mykah, Clint, Ruby, Augie, Jack, and Kylie, eight teens who, despite what some lawmakers might want us to believe, are truly just kids looking for a brighter future. Drawing on hundreds of hours of on-the-ground interviews with them and the people in their communities, American Teenager paints a vivid portrait of what it’s actually like to grow up trans today.” book covee

May we all keep reading banned and difficult books.
