From
Academy Award-winning writer, actor, and activist in the LGBTQ
community comes a groundbreaking story about love, prejudice, and being
yourself.
Phoebe’s
life in Neptune, New Jersey, is somewhat unremarkable. She helps her
mom out with her hair salon, she goes to school, and she envies her
perfect older sister. But everything changes when Leonard arrives.
Leonard
is an orphan, a cousin who Phoebe never knew she had. When he comes to
live with Phoebe’s family, he upsets the delicate balance of their
lives. He’s gay and confident about who he is. He inspires the people
around him. He sees people not as they are, but as they hope to be.
One
day, Leonard goes missing. Phoebe, her family, and her community fight
to understand what happened, and to make sense of why someone might want
to extinguish the beautiful absolute brightness that was Leonard
Pelkey.
This
novel by the cofounder of The Trevor Project inspired the
critically-acclaimed Off-Broadway show The Absolute Brightness of
Leonard Pelkey.
For
over 25 years I've been telling stories. Whether I'm writing, acting,
producing or trying to create social change, it's usually the story that
got me involved. But in the process of getting things done and trying
to make the world a better place, I've also been telling the story of my
life. This website is my best effort to provide the general gist. But
my hope is that you find something here that will inspire you to live
your life more fully and continue to tell your story.
