Synopsis
Cuando los padres de Cameron Post mueren repentinamente en un accidente automovilístico, su primer pensamiento sorprendente es de alivio. Alivio porque nunca sabrán que, horas antes, ella había estado besando a una chica. Pero ese alivio no dura, y Cam se ve obligada a mudarse con su tía conservadora Ruth y su abuela bien intencionada pero irremediablemente anticuada.
Ella sabe que a partir de este momento, su vida siempre será diferente. La supervivencia en Miles City, Montana, significa mezclarse y salir bastante bien a solas, y Cam se convierte en una experta en ambas. Entonces Coley Talor se traslada a la ciudad. Coley es una vaquera perfecta en combinación con el novio perfecto. Ella y Cam forjan una amistad inesperada e intensa, que parece dejar espacio para que surja algo más.
Don't miss this raw and powerful own voices debut, the basis for the award-winning film starring Chloë Grace Moretz. Rich with detail and emotion, a sophisticated read for teens and adults alike. Kirkus Reviews
The story is riveting, beautiful, and full of the kind of detail that brings to life a place (rural Montana), a time (the early 1990s), and a questioning teenage girl. Publishers Weekly
This finely crafted, sophisticated coming-of-age debut novel is multilayered, finessing such issues as loss, first love, and friendship. An excellent read for both teens and adults. School Library Journal
Set in rural Montana in the early 1990s, Emily M. Danforth’s The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a powerful and widely acclaimed YA coming-of-age novel in the tradition of the classic Annie on My Mind.
Cameron Post feels a mix of guilt and relief when her parents die in a car accident. Their deaths mean they will never learn the truth she eventually comes to - that she's gay. Orphaned, Cameron comes to live with her old-fashioned grandmother and ultraconservative aunt Ruth. There she falls in love with her best friend, a beautiful cowgirl. When she’s eventually outed, her aunt sends her to God’s Promise, a religious conversion camp that is supposed to “cure” her homosexuality. At the camp, Cameron comes face to face with the cost of denying her true identity.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and provocative literary debut that was a finalist for the YALSA Morris Award and was named to numerous “best” lists.
