Set in rural Montana in the early 1990s, Emily M. Danforth's <i>The Miseducation of Cameron Post</i> is a powerful and widely acclaimed YA coming-of-age novel in the tradition of the classic <i>Annie on My Mind.</i><br /><br />Cameron Post feels a mix of guilt and relief when her parents die in a car accident. Their deaths mean they will never learn the truth she eventually comes to—that she's gay. Orphaned, Cameron comes to live with her old-fashioned grandmother and ultraconservative aunt Ruth. There she falls in love with her best friend, a beautiful cowgirl. When she's eventually outed, her aunt sends her to God's Promise, a religious conversion camp that is supposed to “cure” her homosexuality. At the camp, Cameron comes face to face with the cost of denying her true identity.<br /><br /><i>The Miseducation of Cameron Post</i> is a stunning and provocative literary debut that was a finalist for the YALSA Morris Award and was named to numerous “best” lists.
