[CALIBK12] School-Wide Book Recommendation

[Lori Fetzer]

Excellent choice! I remember loving this collection.   I believe Bauer
compiled the stories which are original works of many other acclaimed
authors.  All stories have gay and lesbian themes and I think the book has a
subtitle about coming out or breaking the silence.
