PFLAG <strong>Santa</strong> <strong>Barbara</strong> will guide this<br />
discussion focused on what the novel has to<br />
say about the coming out process for parents,<br />
family, and friends.<br />
I got to thinking that<br />
poems were like<br />
people. Some<br />
people you got right<br />
off the bat. Some<br />
people you just<br />
didn't get - and<br />
never would get.<br />
