"No one in Cumberland, Rhode Island, was surprised when Aaron Fricke showed up at the high school prom with a male date. He had sued his school for the right to do so, and the papers had been full of the news ever since. Yet only a year earlier, Fricke would never have dreamed of being so open about his gay feelings. Now you can read his gripping story about growing up gay: about coming to terms with beign different, and a moving lesson in what gay pride can really mean in a small New England town." --From back cover.
