Anyone who has ever struggled to accept themselves for being different would benefit from the advice in this book. The coping strategies and advice on managing your stress are spot on and delivered in a kind, compassionate manner. Like many people, we have gay friends and have seen the hurtful ways they are often treated, and we've seen them just bottle up their pain and anger and pretend everything is ok, which isn't healthy. I especially liked the chapter on building self-esteem, and how the author says to learn how to pull your own strings rather than hoping someone else will do it for you. Like I said, this book would be great for anyone who feels different and alone, but especially so for people who are dealing with something as deeply personal as sexual identity.
