Paul Stewart has been assigned to write a story about Auntie Social (a.k.a. Matthew Trammell), one of Atlanta's biggest drag queens, who has worked for 30 years raising money for HIV/AIDS programs and is seen as a pillar of the community. Though Paul has heard and read Matthew's reasons time and again for his work, he can't help but wonder if there's a story that hasn't been told and, surprisingly, is able to break through and get Matthew to tell him a story that resonates on levels he hadn't expected.Incredibly moving, heartbreaking, touching, etc. The list of descriptors could go on and on here. This really was an incredible story that pulled me in and hit me in a lot of ways. T.A. Webb has created a masterful story here. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I felt like the last scene was just a bit contrived and took away from the overall story, but it's still wonderful all the same.
