It's Not Always Rainbows

De: Joey Paul

Narrado por: Vicki Conoley

The LGBTQ rainbow covers people from all walks of life. Catherine and her friends all have to struggle for acceptance in their own lives. Parents, friends, teachers, pretty much everyone seems to have their opinion on how they should live.

The only people who don’t tell them what they should do are each other and the people inside the LGBTQ community.

So when people from that community start getting attacked and then murdered, Catherine feels she has to do something to stop it.

Dealing with her own issues with her religious parents is tough enough, but what do you do when who you are is the reason someone wants you dead?

Powerful, Gripping, Disturbing

Vicki Conoley does a great job narrating this story that deals with teens facing some stark truths about facing the world as LGTBQIA. Joey Paul doesn’t pull any punches. Moreover, she doesn’t attempt to change reality by tying things up in a happy bow either. Although there is a finite end to core story, life goes on for these characters, scars and all. There’s a powerful message here for those who choose to hear it. I wanted to scream at some of these people, but I also needed to keep reading to know the outcome. And that’s strong writing!
