Not Like Other Boys

About the Book

“By offering different perspectives on their shared pasts, the Shyers produced a complex and emotionally persuasive family portrait.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A deeply moving memoir.”
—Publishers Weekly

“What makes this story ultimately heroic is…a reminder of all those who struggle against the stigma of who they are.”
—The New York Times Book Review

“This wonderful book will not only tug at your heart, it will open your mind to the fact that homosexuality is not a choice, it is a given and has nothing to with the worth of a human being.”
—Women’s News
