Set in rural Montana in the early 1990s, emily m. danforth's The
Miseducation of Cameron Post is a powerful and widely acclaimed YA
coming-of-age novel in the tradition of the classic Annie on My
Mind. Cameron Post feels a mix of guilt and relief when her parents
die in a car accident. Their deaths mean they will never learn the
truth she eventually comes to-that she's gay. Orphaned, Cameron
comes to live with her old-fashioned grandmother and
ultraconservative aunt Ruth. There she falls in love with her best
friend, a beautiful cowgirl. When she's eventually outed, her aunt
sends her to God's Promise, a religious conversion camp that is
supposed to "cure" her homosexuality. At the camp, Cameron comes
face to face with the cost of denying her true identity. The
Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and provocative literary
debut that was a finalist for the YALSA Morris Award and was named
to numerous "best" lists.
