Amazon.com Review
Adam Mastoon's beautifully reproduced photographs of gay, lesbian, and bisexual young people are a revelation: each subject, posed yet casual, looks directly into the camera and invites us into his or her life. But the book is more than a photo gallery, and the personal statements written by each young person brings a sense of what it means to be a gay youth today. In a world in which gay teens are told that they either don't exist or should change their sexual orientation, The Shared Heart is a beacon of hope, clarity, and joy. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up?A remarkable collection of 40 narratives and photographs of gay, lesbian, and bisexual young adults. All in their late teens and early 20s, they tell in frank, open narratives what it is like to be bisexual and homosexual. They speak of the moments in their lives when they came to realize they were not heterosexual, how they struggled with their decision to come out, how their families and friends reacted, and how they have been treated by loved ones and strangers. These young people are activists, artists, athletes, class presidents, and performers. Some live in small towns and some in big cities. Some have the loving acceptance and support of their families and some are totally estranged. While no one story is the same, all have shared some experiences. For instance, they all have been victims of intolerance to some extent. They all speak of how coming out enabled them to become truly comfortable with themselves. Candid, black-and-white photographs of the subjects bring their words to life. Mastoon does a wonderful job of capturing the personalities of these young people. Beneath their photographs are brief statements written in their own handwriting. What is most admirable about these narrators is their courage to speak so openly. Their fearless, uninhibited celebration of themselves and their demand for dignity and respect are truly inspiring. Young adult readers, gay and straight, will find these passionate, life-affirming testimonies memorable and moving.?Edward Sullivan, New York Public Library
