5.0

Madeline Kay Sneed's debut, The Golden Season is a complicated and tender tale. Following Emmy Quinn and her father, Steve, this novel traces the complexities and challenges of queer identity, familial love, culture, community, and faith. For the queer folk who were raised in the Bible Belt, or for the people who are haunted by a place that refuses to claim them, this is a must-read. My therapist will hear about this one.
