We are excited to announce our next book selection for our upcoming meeting: A Place for Us by Brandon
J. Wolf. This memoir delves into the deeply personal journey of self-discovery and acceptance
experienced by the author as a gay man in contemporary America. Wolf shares his story of growing up in a
conservative Christian family in the South, navigating the complexities of his sexual orientation, and
finding his place in a society that too often marginalizes LGBTQ+ individuals. Through his candid
reflections on relationships, identity, and resilience, Wolf offers profound insights into the
challenges and triumphs of coming out and embracing one's true self.
Join us as we explore the themes of love, family, and belonging in "A Place for Us." We look forward to
engaging discussions and meaningful reflections on this powerful memoir.
Registration launching soon!
*If you do not have access to the book, simply reach out to us at dei@fpamn.org, and we'll ensure you have the resources to fully
participate.
