• Sommario/riassunto: Queer survivors piece together the clues to discover their own lives! Dangerous Families: Queer Writing on Surviving goes beyond the recovery narrative to create a new queer literature of investigation, exploration, and transformation. Twenty-six stories illuminate the reality of growing up in fear, struggling to rebuild lives damaged by sexual, physical, and/or emotional abuse. The book explores how abuse turns queer survivors?male, female, and transgendered?into healers, heartbreakers, and homicidal maniacs, presenting brilliant stories that sear and soar.
