Summary:
Bobby Griffith was an all-American boy and he was gay. Faced with an irresolvable conflictfor both his family and his religion taught him that being gay was wrongBobby chose to take his own life.
Prayers for Bobby, nominated for a 1996 Lambda Literary Award, is the story of the emotional journey that led Bobby to this tragic conclusion. But it is also the story of Bobbys mother, a fearful churchgoer who first prayed that her son would be healed, then anguished over his suicide, and ultimately transformed herself into a national crusader for gay and lesbian youth.
As told through Bobbys poignant journal entries and his mothers reminiscences, Prayers for Bobby is at once a moving personal story, a true profile in courage, and a call to arms to parents everywhere.
