Description: In Youth in Crisis, 40 gay and lesbian Americans share their very personal answers to these difficult questions. Many discuss long-buried feelings for the first time. Several open up about suicide attempts, depression, and fear that are still part of growing up gay. And they suggest ways to help the next generation. These stories are also lessons in perseverance and achievement, showing inner strength and inspiring us all with their triumphs.
