I saved this book for a weekend when I would be alone so I could avoid those pesky questions like, “Can you fix me something to eat?” and “Mama, why are you crying?” When I made it through most of the book without crying, I thought I was in the clear. I was about 3/4 way through when the tears started. But some people are over-achievers, and Amy apparently couldn’t be satisfied with a few quiet, graceful (it could happen) tears running down my face as I read. No, by the end of the book, I was sobbing; it was loud and most definitely not graceful. As always, though, Amy infuses bits of humor into her story. Not in an inappropriate way, but in a way that reminds us that while life can be harsh, there is always something to smile about.
Letters from the Closet is a book about a girl’s relationship with her gay teacher, but it’s so much more, and if that’s all you take away from this book, then you’re missing out. This book is about relationships, and the connection we all seek to other humans.
“That’s what we both wanted. To be read. To be asked. To have someone in our lives we couldn’t fool.” – Letters from the Closet
