Prayers for Bobby

Am reading this book by Leroy Aarons. It's the true chronicle of an ultra-religious mother and her teenaged gay son, who commits suicide in the early 1980s, aged 20. Unable to reconcile her son's death with her view of the world, Mary finally begins to honestly ask questions about homosexuality, and ends up radically changing her beliefs and viewpoints. A bittersweet yet inspirational story of courage, love, pain and redemption.
