Synopsis "another f-word"

Gentle Rory Calhoun Wilson is the antithesis of the 1950s cowboy he's named for. He loathes everything his macho father adores, putting the two on a collision course fueled by Darrell Wilson's inability to conceal contempt for his son's emerging homosexuality. Another F-Word is a story of bullying, courage and love. It examines parental struggles to support a gay child, the role that schools and religious institutions play, the tragedy of teen suicide, and the ability of a rural boy to remain open to people who can influence his life in remarkable ways. Rory's is a story of triumph over the scarring effects of being labeled and bullied. * We cannot be allies for those we don't understand. Lissa Brown has opened the door ... Her description of Rory Calhoun Wilson's life, from young, sensitive boy to out and empowered young adult, is riveting. ... a must-read for every Gay-Straight Alliance Advisor. -Barb Silvey, Gay-Straight Alliance Advisor, Spokane, Washington * "A very honest, raw reality for many LGBT children is exposed through a young man's innocent eyes ... [Brown]takes us on a journey that includes a mother's quest and a young man's pilgrimage through childhood with compassion, heartache and triumph. ... an amazing novel for LGBT youth, parents, educators and leaders to use as a guide. -Crystal Simmons, president, Adam Foundation, Inc. * "So realistic that I read it cover to cover in one sitting. ... heart-wrenching story that is so commonly happening daily in our world. ... Thank you for your work to bring awareness!" -Kirk Smalley, president, Stand For The Silent
