This memoir from Chasten Buttigeig describes growing up in Traverse City, Michigan, feeling different than everyone else but doing his best to blend in. Once he realized he was gay he kept the fact secret from everyone he knew. Eventually, through his many experiences, such as being a foreign exchange student, acting, and finally finding the right educational path, he learned to be true to himself. Chasten then had the courage to come out to his friends and family. The difficult and sometimes painful lessons he learned growing up, helped him later in life as he supported his husband, Pete Buttigieg, on the presidential campaign trail.
This is an approachable, readable memoir that addresses Chasten Buttigieg's journey to find acceptance and self-love. His kind and understanding approach will resonate with others on the same journey. Chasten Buttigieg is a white man.
