Tell the Rest -- Lucy Jane Bledsoe - Hardcover
Two estranged childhood friends find themselves on parallel paths to return to the site of the conversion therapy camp that tore them apart.
"Two conversion therapy survivors go back to the site of their trauma, hoping the truth will set them free . . . This satisfyingly nuanced story tackles sexuality and spiritual abuse, offering connection and redemption."
--Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
"In Berkeley author Lucy Jane Bledsoe's explosive new novel, two mixed-race childhood friends reunite after enduring a summer spent at a Christian conversion camp . . . The story becomes a powerful reading experience on the resilience, determination, and personal pride required for queer survival. Bledsoe clearly demonstrates a knack for dialogue and swift plotting, and the reality of the theme itself will hit home for many readers."
