In this compelling collective memoir, twelve gender and/or sexual minorities share true memories of community, loss, joy, and becoming. Each is recorded in the storyteller's own words and illustrated by queer textile artist Robin Wolfe. From the struggles of finding one's true self in deeply religious enclaves, to surviving harsh conditions with the support of chosen family, to funny stories about finding community, these tales preserve our diverse history and prove "average people" have fascinating stories to share. Note: this book primarily covers 2SLGBTQ+ memories; some memories involve solely leather subculture. There are no detailed discussions of sexual activity but it does contain brief references. As it covers people's life experiences, in some stories there are discussions of heavy topics such as child abuse, transphobia, AIDS deaths, drug use, mental illness, and others; a Content Note page has been provided at the back of the book for those who wish to be warned in advance about if certain topics are present within a specific memory. This book is intended for a mid-teens or older audience. While it is illustrated, it is not a children's book. This book is not a large-text edition, but has been designed for general accessibility and uses an accessible print typeface, line and paragraph spacing, and text size.
