Crooked Letter i offers a collection of first-person nonfiction
narratives that reflect the distinct 'coming out' experiences of a
complex cross-section of gay, lesbian, and transgendered
Southerners from all walks of life and at different stages in their
lives. There is the Appalachian widower who, following the death of
his wife, decides it's time to tell his church community. There is
the young man who left his hometown as a girl, returning hesitant
but hopeful for his grandmother's love. There is the adolescent
girl who refuses to surrender her soul to Jesus because she is not
yet certain of her own beliefs. There is the well-mannered Southern
gentleman who hopes his blueberries and biscuits will help ease the
awkwardness of coming out to his elderly neighbor. There are the
ones who survived the frequent bar raids, arrests, and beatings.
But, there is also the first kiss, and the first love. The
experiences represented here pivot around a central theme—finally
finding language to understand one's identity, and then discovering
we were never the only ones. Revealing a vibrant cross-section of
Southerners, the writers of these narratives have in common the
experience of being Southern and different, but determined against
all odds.
Early one morning Gator climbs a tree, but he will not tell anyone
why. Join Moose, Giraffe, Rhino and many more as they try and

seven different artists in a collage of breathtaking styles, author
Jordan Courtney takes us for a creative climb with this easy to
read picture book.
