Book Reviews of Prayers for Bobby: A Mother's Coming to Terms with the Suicide of Her Gay Son

Book Review: A Remarkable Story
Summary: 5 Stars

Out of the ashes of her gay son's tragic suicide, a mother finds her way to enlightenment. This is a powerful story. A deeply religious mother, with a limited education, is eventually able to reach a place of complete acceptance of her son as gay. We share the arduous three years she spent researching the bible, studying, learning, reading and asking questions. This very special lady ultimately emerges with a "reborn" faith in humanity. This book is a "must read" for any parent, family member of a gay child.
