Mama's Boy: A Story from Our Americas by Dustin Lance Black
5.0
I just finished Mama's Boy. My eyes are still red from crying. This is a complete tear-jerker. I had chosen to read this book because I've wanted to learn a bit more about Mormons because we are contemplating a move to Utah. I wanted something with an LDS family, not a more extreme polygamist sect, and one which wasn't preachy. This was the perfect book for that.
Most reviews I've read for this book focus on how amazing his mom is. And she is amazing. But Dustin is just as strong. He fights so many battles. Just like her, he remains hopeful through everything. This story, in addition to containing the incredible lives of Dustin and Roseanna, contains a store of the fight for marriage equality and bringing together two very different Americas that often do not see eye to eye
But, if you decide to read this book be ready for a tear-jerker.
